Eight killed after Israeli and US air strikes hit Iran’s Isfahan province, damaging homes as the escalating regional war enters week two

TEHRAN: Israeli and US attacks on a central Iranian province killed at least eight people on Saturday, a provincial official said, as the regional war entered its second week.

“Eight citizens, including a woman, were martyred in these terrorist attacks,” said Akbar Salehi, a security official at the governor’s office in Isfahan province.

AFP could not independently verify the toll.

“American and Zionist regime fighter jets attacked areas of Isfahan city and seven other cities in the province,” Salehi said, according to the Tasnim news agency.

He added that “80 houses were severely damaged” in the city of Isfahan as well as the Lenjan and Borkhar areas.
