Rescue workers carry a casualty of an airstrike in Tehran, Iran, on Wednesday. That figure, which has now surpassed the 1,190 deaths in US and Israeli strikes on Iran last June, came as a growing chorus of world leaders and analysts warn of the hollow legal basis for the US and Israeli military campaign. Elsewhere in the region, dozens of people, including children, have been killed by Tehran’s retaliatory strikes on neighboring countries, according to local authorities. Elsewhere, strikes killed at least 35 people in the southern Fars province, and 27 civilians in residential areas in Maragheh, in northwestern Iran, the agency said. The White House did not rule out on Wednesday that US military personnel carried out the strike, but insisted that the US “does not target civilians.”CNN has approached the Israeli military for comment.
