Day 39 of U.S. and Israeli Attacks on Iran: Extensive Damage to the Rail Network and Roads

HRANA– In the last 24 hours, and as of April 7, 2026, at 18:00 ET, HRANA has recorded at least 425 attacks across 177 incidents in 16 provinces, resulting in a total of at least 101 casualties (killed and injured, both civilian and military). The attack on railway routes, key bridges, and several major transportation corridors across the country were among the developments that drew widespread public attention over the past 24 hours.

According to information recorded and verified by HRANA, from the first minutes of the day through the end of April 7, 2026 (Tehran time), at least 36 civilians were killed and 48 others 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: 1,701 people (including at least 254 children)

• Military fatalities: 1,221 people

• Unclassified fatalities (civilian/military): 714 people

Note on Official Statements: Alongside HRANA’s independent reporting, several official aggregated figures were also recorded today from state-affiliated media, including:

The Deputy for Family Support and Welfare at the Relief Committee said: “From the beginning of the Ramadan War until today, 32 members of families supported by the Relief Committee have been killed as a result of the criminal attacks by American and Zionist forces against civilian citizens.”
The Red Crescent spokesperson said: “Forty-nine medical and pharmaceutical centers were particularly damaged. Ninety-eight thousand commercial units, 326 medical units, 763 educational centers and schools, and 20 relief workers and rescue/Red Crescent bases were damaged.”
The head of Tehran Province Emergency Services said: “We have had more than 700 fatalities, all of them ordinary civilians. In the past two nights alone, 10 children and 18 women were among the victims across the province. Up to today, more than 8,600 injured people have received services across Tehran Province, 87 percent of whom were ordinary civilians. We have had more than 700 fatalities, all of them civilians, children, and women. In the past two nights, 10 children under the age of 10 and 18 women were added to the number of our fatalities in Tehran Province.”

Since these figures are presented in aggregate form and cannot be precisely matched to specific incidents, they have not been included in the event-based calculations used in HRANA’s independent reporting section of this review. They are mentioned here solely as a record of official statements.

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 shows that Tehran Province, with a 27% share, ranks first among the provinces that have come under attack. Tehran Province is followed by Alborz Province with a 19% share in second place, and Khuzestan Province with 17% in third. The list continues with the provinces of Isfahan Province, Qazvin Province, and Qom Province, respectively.

2. List of Objects Reported Hit

In the past 24 hours, the recorded attacks have damaged 53 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:

• 8th Division Barracks (Isfahan)

• 4th Tactical Air Base (Dezful)

• Defense Facilities (Khark Island)

• Southern Border Outpost (Minoo Island)

• Ashura Garrison (Najafabad)

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:

• Khorasani Jews Synagogue (Tehran)

• Alborz–Zanjan Railway Line (Karaj)

• Haft Cheshmeh Railway Bridge (Mianeh)

• Tabriz–Tehran Freeway (Tabriz)

• Sorkheh Hesar River Bridge (Ray)

3. Civilian Casualties

In the past 24 hours, at least 36 civilian citizens, including 6 children and 3 women, have been killed, and 48 other civilians have been injured. All classifications are preliminary and may be updated if new information becomes available.

4. Military Casualties

During the period covered by this report, no reports of military casualties were 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

Three deaths and 14 injuries reported in the past 24 hours remain classified as undetermined. This means that HRANA has not yet been able to establish with sufficient certainty whether these individuals were civilians or military personnel.

Burials: Today, 1 burial related to attacks from previous days was 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.

Four-Year Prison Sentences for Christian Converts Mansour and Mahmoud Mardani

HRANA News Agency – Mansour and Mahmoud Mardani, two Christian convert brothers, have been sentenced by the Revolutionary Court of Lenjan County in Isfahan province, to four years in prison each, along with fines and additional punishments.

According to HRANA, citing Article 18, the verdict was issued on January 5, 2025, by Judge Mohammad Ali Abbasi and was recently communicated to the two converts. Each was sentenced to four years in prison, a fine of 150 million tomans, and a five-year deprivation of social rights on charges of “propaganda against the regime through promoting Christianity.”

In addition, the brothers were banned from residing in Isfahan Province and the city of Fooladshahr, and sentenced to two years of exile in Ardal County, located in Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari Province.

Mansour and Mahmoud Mardani were first arrested on December 22, 2021, during a Christmas celebration at a house church in Fooladshahr, Isfahan, and were later released on bail.

Notably, while Christianity is officially recognized as a minority religion in Iran, security agencies view the conversion of Muslims to Christianity as a highly sensitive matter and respond with severe crackdowns on those involved in religious activism.

The persecution of Christian converts in Iran persists despite Article 18 of both the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, which affirm every individual’s right to freedom of religion, including the right to change their faith and to practice it openly or privately, alone or in community with others.

Masoumeh Yavari Receives 13-Year Prison Sentence on Political Charges

The Golpayegan Revolutionary Court has issued a thirteen-year sentence to Masoumeh Yavari on political charges.

Presided over by Judge Mohammad Basaeri and Ghasem Sharifian, the court sentenced Yavari to seven years for “destruction of public property,” five years for alleged “membership in Monafeghin” and one year for “propaganda against the regime.”

Notably, the verdict acquitted Yavari of charges related to “enmity against God (Moharebeh)” and “association with adversary countries.”

Yavari’s arrest occurred on September 4, during which security forces conducted a thorough search of her residence and seized some of her belongings.

It is essential to highlight that Yavari has a history of prior arrests and convictions related to her activism.

Protests Continue in Golpayegan and Several other Cities

On Tuesday, May 17, 2022, protests against soaring food prices continued in several cities, including Golpayegan in Isfahan Province. Many cities witnessed heavy police and security forces’ presence and internet disruptions.

Video footages obtained by HRANA News Agency show that in Golpayegan, people were rallying in the streets and chanting slogans against the regime. Reportedly, in Junaqan City, in Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari Province, the government has almost completely shut down the internet.

Following a new wave of price hikes recently in Iran, protests erupted in several cities across the country. In most cases, protests turned violent by the police and security forces who used tear gas, warning shots, and pellet guns to scatter the crowds.

 

Several Arrested in Isfahan by IRGC Intelligence

Several citizens have reportedly been arrested by an IRGC Intelligence unit in Isfahan.

According to HRANA, the news agency of Human Rights Activists, quoting IRNA, a spokesperson for the IRGC’S Intelligence unit in Isfahan City, known as Sahib al-Zaman IRGC, announced that several members of an “anti-revolutionary group” have been arrested.

“The members of this anti-revolutionary group aimed to act against national security both on social media and in public,” the IRGC’s public relations spokesperson claimed. “These acts include spreading anti-regime tracts on streets to call for protest and unrest, agitating and hiring thugs for their own purposes, planning to disturb public order and security, sabotage and causing chaos and unrest all over the province.”

This report does not reveal the identity and whereabouts of the detainees.

According to an informed source, Mr. Salehi was executed while his family and relatives gathered in front of Dastgerd Prison requesting that the sentence be suspended. In a short video posted on social media, the prisoner’s family explains the death sentence should not be carried out in this forbidden (haram) month.

Mr. Salehi was arrested about 20 years ago on drug-related charges when he was just 22 and had been in prison ever since.

Iran ranks first in the world in executions per capita, according to international organizations. The Statistics and Publication Center of the Human Rights Activists in Iran (HRA) reported that between January 1 and December 20 of 2020, at least 236 citizens were executed.

One of these citizens was executed publicly, and two were juvenile offenders. An additional 95 citizens were sentenced to death. According to the same report, more than 72% of executions in Iran are not reported by the government or the judiciary, which human rights organizations call “secret” executions.
