Today, Razavi Khorasan Province, considered one of the geographically most distant regions of Iran from the current conflict, was also targeted by the United States and Israel.

According to information recorded and verified by HRANA, from the first minutes of the day until the end of March 25, 2026 (Tehran time), at least nine civilians were killed and 18 civilians were injured.

Aggregated data since the beginning of the conflict on February 28, 2026, based on incidents recorded in the incident tab and using minimum values for figures marked “more than”:

• Civilian fatalities: 1,464 people (including at least 217 children)

• Military fatalities: 1,167 people

• Unclassified fatalities (civilian/military): 669 people

Note on Official Statements: Alongside HRANA’s independent reports, several aggregated official statistics were also reported today by state media, including:

The head of the Iranian Red Crescent Society stated in a televised interview: “In these attacks, 66 children have lost their lives and around 3,000 women have been severely injured. Additionally, three emergency helicopters and 48 rescue vehicles have been completely destroyed. The organization’s rapid response teams have been placed on alert across the country, and in Tehran, 680 people have been rescued from under the rubble.”

The governor of Zanjan announced: “In these attacks, 43 people from the province, mostly women, children, workers, and road maintenance personnel, and 16 other residents from the province in other parts of the country were killed. Their bodies have been buried in Zanjan, bringing the total number of fatalities from the province to 59. Among them were five children, 11 women, four individuals over the age of 50, and 15 aged between 19 and 25. In total, 324 residents of the province, including women, children, and urban and rural workers, were injured.”

The Israeli Minister of Defense, regarding the country’s operations against Iran, stated that so far, more than 15,000 bombs have been dropped on Iran. This number is four times the amount used in the 12-day war.

1. Overview of Incidents in the Last 24 Hours

In the last 24 hours, incidents were reported across multiple provinces, reflecting a geographically dispersed pattern of hostilities. In a large portion of the incidents, the method/type of attack has not yet been confirmed and has been recorded as “undetermined.” In cases where the attack type was identifiable, airstrikes and drone attacks were reported.

Preliminary analysis indicates that, for the second time since the beginning of the war, Tehran Province ranks first among the provinces targeted, accounting for 23% of the attacks. Alborz and Hormozgan provinces, each with a 13% share, jointly rank second, while Isfahan Province, with 9%, ranks third. Following these are East Azerbaijan, Razavi Khorasan, and Fars provinces, respectively.

2. List of Objects Reported Hit

In the past 24 hours, the recorded attacks have damaged 23 distinct objects or facilities. These include a range of different types of targets. In some cases, damage caused by nearby strikes or secondary consequences of the attacks has also been reported.

Examples of targets recorded over the past 24 hours:

• Airbase (Bandar Abbas)

• Marine Brigade (Bandar Abbas)

• Shipyard (Bandar Abbas)

• Airport (Shiraz)

• Airport (Lamerd)

For a number of the listed targets, the exact nature of the target (civilian/military/dual-use) is still under review, and classifications may be revised as additional information becomes available.

Facilities Protected Under International Humanitarian Law:

Under international humanitarian law, medical facilities, educational institutions, humanitarian facilities, religious sites, and emergency service centers are among the many objects that maintain special protected status and are afforded special protection. In the past 24 hours, HRANA has preliminarily recorded the following cases:

• Railway staff housing (Tabriz)

• Damage to residential homes in eastern Tehran (Tehran)

• Imam Sajjad Mosque (Mashhad)

• Kiarostami House-Museum (Tehran)

3. Civilian Casualties

In the past 24 hours, at least nine civilians have been killed and 18 injured. All classifications are preliminary and may be updated as new information becomes available.

4. Military Casualties

During the period covered by this report, no reports of military casualties have been received. Military casualties are generally reported in the context of attacks on Army and Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) bases. Where possible, organizational affiliation and operational context are being assessed; however, not all details have yet been independently verified.

In some incidents, individuals have been killed in the vicinity of military targets; however, their official status has not yet been definitively determined. These cases remain under review, and if reliable information indicating a different status becomes available, the classification may be revised accordingly.

It is believed that military casualties are significantly higher than the figures reported in these reports. However, due to the sensitive nature of military information and the limited access of human rights groups and media to locations where military forces are present, this section largely reflects reports of senior officers or military personnel who were present in urban areas.

5. Confirmed but Unspecified Casualties

Today, one burial was recorded, related to casualties from previous days’ attacks.

A Note on HRANA Methodology

Note that, in line with HRANA policy, this report reflects only incidents that occurred within the territorial borders of Iran.

The information contained in this report is compiled through HRANA’s established documentation network. Data is collected from a combination of field reports, local contacts, medical and emergency sources, civil society networks, and open source materials, including publicly available images, videos, and official statements where relevant. Each reported incident is logged and assessed through an internal review process before publication.

Given the evolving nature of hostilities, information is gathered on a rolling basis and reflects the status of documentation at the time of publication.

The figures presented in this report may not reflect the full scope of harm. Ongoing hostilities, damage to infrastructure, communication disruptions, restricted access to affected areas, and security risks for sources may limit the ability to document incidents comprehensively.

Delays in medical reporting, difficulties in confirming identities, and restricted access to certain provinces may result in temporary undercounting. As access improves or additional evidence emerges, casualty figures and incident classifications may be revised accordingly.

HRANA remains committed to transparency, methodological rigor, and the continual updating of its findings as new verified information becomes available.

3. Civilian Casualties

In the past 24 hours, at least 8 civilians, including 3 children and 2 women, have been killed, and 6 civilians, including 2 children and 3 women, have been injured. All classifications are preliminary and may be updated as new information becomes available.

4. Military Casualties

During the reporting period, 2 military personnel were killed. Military casualties are generally reported in the context of attacks on Army and Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) bases. Where possible, organizational affiliation and operational context are being assessed; however, not all details have yet been independently verified.

In some incidents, individuals have been killed in the vicinity of military targets; however, their official status has not yet been definitively determined. These cases remain under review, and if reliable information indicating a different status becomes available, the classification may be revised accordingly.

It is believed that military casualties are significantly higher than the figures reported in these reports. However, due to the sensitive nature of military information and the limited access of human rights groups and media to locations where military forces are present, this section largely reflects reports of senior officers or military personnel who were present in urban areas.

5. Confirmed but Unspecified Casualties

Today, 10 burials resulting from attacks in previous days have been recorded.

A Note on HRANA Methodology

Note that, in line with HRANA policy, this report reflects only incidents that occurred within the territorial borders of Iran.

The information contained in this report is compiled through HRANA’s established documentation network. Data is collected from a combination of field reports, local contacts, medical and emergency sources, civil society networks, and open source materials, including publicly available images, videos, and official statements where relevant. Each reported incident is logged and assessed through an internal review process before publication.

Given the evolving nature of hostilities, information is gathered on a rolling basis and reflects the status of documentation at the time of publication.

The figures presented in this report may not reflect the full scope of harm. Ongoing hostilities, damage to infrastructure, communication disruptions, restricted access to affected areas, and security risks for sources may limit the ability to document incidents comprehensively.

Delays in medical reporting, difficulties in confirming identities, and restricted access to certain provinces may result in temporary undercounting. As access improves or additional evidence emerges, casualty figures and incident classifications may be revised accordingly.

HRANA remains committed to transparency, methodological rigor, and the continual updating of its findings as new verified information becomes available.

Day 21 of the U.S.-Israeli War on Iran: New Year begins with 640 strikes

HRANA– In the last 24 hours, and as of March 20, 2026, at 17:00 ET, HRANA has recorded at least 640 attacks across 130 incidents in 17 provinces, resulting in a total of at least 68 casualties (killed and injured, both civilian and military). These numerous attacks took place simultaneously with the arrival of the New Year in Iran. Reports received indicate that many citizens viewed the Nowruz holidays as an opportunity to leave major cities, and heavy traffic formed on routes out of cities, particularly along routes toward the northern provinces of Gilan and Mazandaran.

According to information recorded and verified by HRANA, from the first minutes of the day until the end of March 20, 2026 (Tehran time), at least 4 civilians were killed and 8 civilians injured.

Aggregated data since the beginning of the conflict on February 28, 2026, based on incidents recorded in the incident tab and using minimum values for figures marked “more than”:

• Civilian fatalities: 1,398 people (including at least 210 children)

• Military fatalities: 1165 people

• Unclassified fatalities (civilian/military): 657 people

Note on official statements: Alongside HRANA News Agency’s independent reports, several aggregated official statistics were also recorded today by state-affiliated media, including:

The Deputy Security Governor of Lorestan stated: “Of the total recorded fatalities from the American–Zionist attacks in the province, 80 were military personnel and 64 were civilian citizens. During this period, 2,427 people were injured in Lorestan, of whom 266 were military personnel and 2,161 were civilians.”

The Ministry of Health announced: “At present, 1,016 individuals injured in the American–Zionist attacks are hospitalized in medical centers. From the beginning of the war until today, 208,073 people have been treated and discharged.”

1. Overview of Incidents in the Last 24 Hours

In the last 24 hours, incidents were reported across multiple provinces, reflecting a geographically dispersed pattern of hostilities.  In a large portion of the incidents, the method/type of attack has not yet been confirmed and has been recorded as “undetermined.” In cases where the attack type was identifiable, airstrikes and drone attacks were reported.

Preliminary analysis indicates that Tehran Province, having borne 36% of all recorded attacks, ranks first among the provinces targeted. Semnan Province, with 17%, and Isfahan Province, with 14%, follow in the next positions. Continuing down the list are Hormozgan, Alborz, and Khuzestan provinces, respectively.
