Mystery over Iran’s resilience; Trump’s surrender demand met by retaliation

Iran has refused to slow down even on the seventh day of the ongoing conflict. It has claimed to have obliterated the entire air defence and radar system of the US across the Middle East. The Iranians have targeted Tel Aviv and Jerusalem with more Khorramshahr-4. Donald Trump has, meanwhile, demanded a complete surrender of the Iranian leadership. There are also reports that Netanyahu is on the run, fearing reprisals from Tehran. Rifat Jawaid looks at the rapidly changing developments in the Middle East.

6 schools bombed now in Iran, and it was most likely the US that bombed the first school killing up to 180 school girls.

US-Israeli bombs strike dangerously close to civilian sites, CNN Investigates finds

The impact of the US and Israeli airstrikes across Iran has extended beyond hitting security infrastructure, also damaging nearby civilian sites including hospitals, a CNN investigation has found.

CNN found one impact crater measuring at least 40 feet (12 meters) wide at the offices of Iran’s state broadcaster IRIB in Tehran. Seen on satellite imagery, its diameter is consistent with those left by 2,000-pound bombs. On detonation, this weapon sprays white-hot metal fragments that can be lethal up to 1,000 feet away.

That crater lies just 100ft away from the Gandhi Hospital. Verified videos from the strike’s aftermath show shattered glass, collapsed walls and patients – including babies – being evacuated from the facility. Satellite imagery shows a communications mast at the broadcasting complex wiped out after the attack.

Wes Bryant, a former US special operations tactical air controller, told CNN there’s “no way this was not at least something equivalent to a 2,000-pound bomb.

Strikes also hit the police headquarters, flattening buildings, per satellite images. Videos show damage to several other hospitals in the immediate neighborhood. Bryant assessed this indicated the use of multiple munitions with a payload of 500 pounds or lower.

On Thursday, the World Health Organization confirmed it had verified 13 strikes on Iranian healthcare facilities.

A school in southern Iran was also directly struck, killing more than 160 students and staff, state media reported. It sits roughly 200ft from an Iranian military base, which was also hit. Neither the US nor Israel has acknowledged responsibility for that strike. A gymnasium in Fars province was also struck; Iranian media reported around 20 volleyball players were inside at the time. The target was unclear, but a police station lies nearby.
