</font><br><p><br><strong>Iran\u2019s
foreign ministry spokesman, Esmail Baghaei, has debunked the propaganda
of \u201csurgical strikes, no residential damage" peddled by the Zionist
regime, calling it \u201croutine barbarity.\u201d</strong></p><p>In a post on X,
formerly Twitter, Baghaei pointed to the latest Israeli regime\u2019s
aggression on civilian areas in the capital, Tehran, which primarily
targeted innocent children and women.</p><p>\u201cIn just three recent
strikes in Tehran, 73 women and children killed,\u201d Baghaei wrote. \u201c20
children killed in Chamran residential complex, 10 still remain trapped
under rubble 48 hours later.\u201d</p><p>One of the deadliest Israeli strikes
in the wee hours of Friday morning targeted a residential building in
northern Tehran\u2019s Nobonyad neighborhood, killing 60 civilians, including
20 children.</p><p>The building was completely leveled by the impact of
the explosion, and search operations are still underway to recover
bodies from beneath the debris, including those of children.</p><p>Baghaei
called out the so-called \u201csurgical accuracy\u201d claim touted by Israeli
regime officials as a grim euphemism for targeting families, women, and
children.</p><p>\u201cTheir 'surgical accuracy'?! Targeting families, kids and women.... That's the routine barbarity,\u201d he said.</p><p>According
to an update from Iran\u2019s Health Ministry, a total of 224 people have
been killed in multiple waves of Israeli aerial strikes, which began on
June 13 and have been supported by the United States.</p><p>Health
ministry spokesman Hossein Kermanpour, in a statement issued Sunday,
said that the \u201cfalse slogan\u201d that Israel targets only military sites has
been exposed as baseless.</p><p>So far, 1,481 individuals have been
killed or wounded in the attacks. Of those, 1,277 have been
hospitalized, with more than 90 percent identified as civilians.</p><p>"So
far, 522 individuals have been discharged, while 224 men, women, and
children have lost their lives as a result of the attacks," he noted.</p><p>Health
Minister Mohammadreza Zafarghandi also said the majority of the victims
of Israeli aggression on Iran in recent days have been civilians,
including a significant number of women and children.</p></div></div></div>
