Update : Casualties rise as Israel and Iran hit each other with waves of missiles

Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi says the Iranian response will stop when Israel halts its attacks on Iran. Aljazeera reported.

Iranian media say Israeli attacks have killed dozens of people and wounded hundreds. In Israel, at least 13 people have been killed in Iranian attacks, with 380 others injured.

Meanwhile, Israel’s war on Gaza has killed at least 55,362 people and wounded 128,741, according to Gaza’s Health Ministry. An estimated 1,139 people were killed in Israel during the Hamas-led attacks of October 7, 2023, and more than 200 were taken captive.

Iran has not experienced a war to this extent since the Iran-Iraq War ended in 1988.

There were similar Israeli strikes last year, of course, but nothing compared to what’s been happening since Friday.

The government said earlier today that metro stations, schools and mosques are going to be ready to host people. But parts of these facilities, including mosques and schools, do not seem safe enough to be used as a sort of shelter.

Still, what we’re hearing is that facilities are being prepared.

For the time being, we are waiting to see what next instructions are going to come out in this regard.
