US airstrikes in Iran kill 34, including seven children

US airstrikes on Iran Monday morning, April 6, 2026, killed at least 34 people, including seven children, according to Iranian officials and state media. The strikes targeted locations in Tehran, the capital, hitting Sharif University of Technology and residential areas. Additional attacks were reported in Baharestan County and the city of Qom.

This attack is part of an ongoing conflict that began in late February 2026 following the death of Iran's Supreme Leader in earlier strikes. The escalation marks a significant intensification of hostilities between the United States and Iran.

Civilian casualties, particularly children, highlight the devastating human cost of the expanding conflict. The targeting of educational and residential areas raises serious humanitarian concerns under international law. No immediate comment was available from US authorities on the specific casualty figures.

The situation remains fluid with potential implications for regional stability and global energy markets.
