UNITED NATIONS: At least 1, 332 Iranian civilians, including women and children, have been killed in US-Israeli airstrikes and thousands more injured, Iran's UN ambassador Amir Saeid Iravani said.

Over 180 children across the country have been killed and more than 20 schools have been damaged, Iravani told reporters at the UN headquarters in New York, quoting the Iranian Red Crescent Society, Xinhua news agency reported.

The United States and Israel have deliberately targeted civilians and civilian infrastructure across Iran, demonstrating that they recognise "no red line in committing their crimes, " he said.

Iravani said that Iranian cities are being attacked indiscriminately, and densely populated residential areas and critical civilian infrastructure are deliberately targeted.
