The scale of devastation from US and Israeli airstrikes in Iran emerged starkly on March 7 as UN ambassador Amir Saeid Iravani briefed reporters: 1,332 civilians slain, many mothers and youngsters, with thousands bearing wounds from the fury.
Iranian Red Crescent data underscores the outrage—180 children perished, 20+ schools reduced to rubble. Iravani accused the attackers of willful civilian targeting, erasing all moral lines.
Urban centers endure blind barrages on homes and essential facilities, acts he branded as profound war crimes. Thursday saw sports centers in Tehran and beyond struck, felling 18 women athletes and maiming nearly 100.
“The aim? Instill fear, slaughter innocents, amplify ruin,” Iravani said, debunking military precision narratives.
Under UN Charter Article 51, Iran defends itself proportionately against military assets alone. War is not the ambition; protecting sovereignty is paramount.
Trump’s leadership comments drew sharp rebuke as unlawful interference. Iran bows to no external dictation.
Iravani implored global powers to repudiate the aggression and pressed the Security Council for swift, unambiguous intervention to avert wider instability.
