Since the US and Israel launched their attacks on Iran nearly a month ago, approximately 1,500 people have been killed, with civilians increasingly bearing the brunt of the campaign. The strikes, aimed at removing Iran's nuclear threat, destroying its ballistic missile capability, and freeing the Iranian people from a tyrannical regime, have instead caused widespread destruction and loss of life among the civilian population.
Homes have been destroyed and ancient sites damaged as the bombing continues. The US and Israeli governments argue that the attacks are necessary to protect global security, but the toll on ordinary Iranians is mounting. Reports indicate that the majority of casualties are non-combatants, raising concerns about the proportionality and legality of the military action.
International human rights organizations have called for an immediate ceasefire, highlighting the humanitarian crisis unfolding in Iran. The destruction of infrastructure and cultural heritage sites has further exacerbated the suffering of the Iranian people, who are caught in the crossfire of geopolitical tensions.
