Iran Claims US/Israel Hit ~10,000 Civilian Sites; UN Raises Alarm on Scale

Iran's UN ambassador told the Security Council that US and Israeli forces have bombed nearly 10,000 civilian sites in Iran — including approximately 8,000 residential homes, commercial centers, medical and pharmaceutical facilities, and schools — killing more than 1,300 civilians. The figure is strongly disputed by Washington and Tel Aviv, which assert all strikes target military or dual-use infrastructure. Iran's internet connectivity remained at ~1% of normal levels (240 consecutive hours offline, among the longest government-imposed internet shutdowns on record globally, per NetBlocks). OHCHR called the communications blackout a grave humanitarian concern undermining civilian protection.
