Over 200 sites in Tehran hit by Israeli strikes, more than 120 homes destroyed: Provincial governor

More than 200 locations across Iran's capital Tehran have been hit by Israeli airstrikes since the conflict began ten days ago, the city's provincial governor said on Sunday.

"More than 200 locations have been attacked by the usurping Zionist regime," Governor Mohammad Sadegh Motamedian told state television, accusing Israel of widespread targeting of civilian areas.

According to Motamedian, over 120 residential housing units have been “fully destroyed,” while nearly 500 others have suffered varying levels of damage. He did not specify whether the strikes targeted any military or strategic sites.

The claim comes as Iran and Israel continue to exchange missile and drone attacks following the US-backed Israeli strikes on Iran's nuclear sites earlier this week. While Israeli officials have focused on targeting Iran’s military infrastructure, Tehran accuses Israel of attacking civilian areas and worsening the humanitarian toll.

The Iranian government has yet to release an official casualty figure for the capital, but humanitarian agencies have warned of mounting displacement and loss of life as the conflict expands into urban centers.
