Iran's State-controlled press and government are unreliable sources, but it is the only we're going to have in the current situation (and yes, the same is true for conflict counterpart's).

In Iran, Israeli strikes have killed at least 406 people and wounded another 654, according to Washington-based Human Rights Activists. [...]"

The Latest: Death toll grows as Israel and Iran trade attacks for third day
Israel and Iran have traded missile strikes for a third straight day. Israel on Sunday hit targets in Tehran including the Defense Ministry and sites it claims are tied to Iran’s nuclear program. Iranian missiles have broken through Israeli defenses, striking buildings deep inside the country. President Donald Trump said the U.S. had “nothing to do with the attack on Iran” and warned Tehran to expect “the full strength and might of the U.S. Armed Forces” if it retaliates against the U.S. The death toll in Israel rose to 13 while a human rights group said Israeli strikes in Iran have killed at least 406 people and wounded 654.

Also, I made a compilation of 9 videos said to be hits and aftermaths in Israel this evening/night so far:
Since this morning I have seen videos like this from Tehran.
People leaving, hoping for safety elsewhere.
Israel bombs indiscriminately everywhere internally so safety would only be had if leaving,
but Turkey previously blocked the border previously to please Fascists in EU, strengthening the Iran-regime's grip on power,
while fleeing to Russia likely means fleeing to conscription because EU closed its borders to people fleeing war, genocide, persecution, strengthening the grip on power by the culprits.
So where to go?
Not everyone can go to the mountains, join the freedom guerrilla and become labeled "terrorist" by USA for opposing the Iran-regime which USA wants to keep as a perpetual external threat for the purpose of domestic subjugation.
Military and militias now shooting at Israel's aircraft passing through in Iraq without permission.
De jure such "passing through" without permission does mean that a state of war exists unless resolved diplomatically, but Israel's planes do this whenever they feel like because Iraq's forces can't fight back because that was USA's obligation and USA is the world's worst, least trustworthy ally ever.

Iran: Weeks away from having nuclear weapons since 1995
"In wars between nation-states, it is societies, and particularly women and children, that pay the heaviest price. The conflict between Israel and Iran is no exception. [...]
It must be emphasised that this war is not a war for the liberation of societies, especially for women. The demands of the people, particularly women, are not part of Israel's or Iran's agendas. Representatives of nation-states chanting slogans such as 'Jin, Jiyan, Azadî' (Woman, Life, Freedom) cannot herald freedom or promise a beautiful future for society, especially when they lack a genuine understanding of the importance of women's struggles.
[...]
KJAR emphasises the importance of organising and building grassroots strength in pursuit of freedom for society, and especially for women. Amid a war of authoritarian powers and patriarchal systems, KJAR stresses that there is no glimmer of light, freedom, or equality."
https://anfenglish.com/women/kjar-the-democratic-struggle-of-women-will-lead-to-freedom-not-war-between-nation-states-79868
KJAR is the "Free Women's Union of Rojhelat", where Rojhelat is the Eastern, Iran-held, part of Kurdistan.
They are one of the three organizations that brought the "Women! Life! Freedom!"-slogan with its antiauthoritarianism and feminism there from whence it spread through all Iran and became the main slogan of the most recent antiauthoritarian uprisings against the theocracy.

The Netanyahu Gang has in several statements and videos falsely associated itself with primarily antiauthoritarian, feminist, antiracist opposition in Iran, which it must be aware of and therefore intended to cause that opposition to be targeted, just as it did during the widespread uprisings a few years ago whereby they directly contributed to getting people sentenced to be murdered by the Iran-theocracy's courts system,
while in actual reality the Israel-regime is also authoritarian, sexist, racist, etc just like their counterpart in Iran.

There was no congressional approval and no casus belli.
This further increases the risk of global hot war for everyone and the risk for every entity in some way associable with USA in particular,
but since primarily USA's Republican party elite have been cheering and literally singing and for war with Iran for decades, they don't care about the constitution they so often claim to have read but instead just cheer https://www.theguardian.com/world/live/2025/jun/22/israel-iran-war-live-trump-says-us-has-attacked-nuclear-sites-in-iran-including-fordow?CMP=share_btn_url&page=with%3Ablock-68575b0a8f0808294ac4b2e8#block-68575b0a8f0808294ac4b2e8 the now very plausible new "forever-war".
At least Bush had fraudulent authorization, at least pretended.
Note, the Iran-theocracy is despicable, murderously oppressive, racist and sexist. This has absolutely nothing to do with that.
State vs State war is never a good thing.
Through the governments of Israel+USA war attacking the government of Iran "A new order is being established in the Middle East under American hegemony." and "If the regime accepts American demands and surrenders, or if a different kind of agreement is made with the U.S. and Israel, you can be sure of this: the first thing this regime will do is turn on its own people and launch a massive wave of repression, executions, prison sentences, arrests, and similar measures in order to re-establish its sovereignty in Iran." explains https://anfenglish.com/features/prof-dr-vali-israel-iran-war-part-of-the-order-the-u-s-seeks-to-establish-under-its-hegemony-79923 Professor Abbas Vali (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abbas_Vali).
Prof. Dr. Vali: Israel-Iran war part of the order the U.S. seeks to establish under its hegemony
As the long-standing shadow war between Israel and Iran has now turned into a direct conflict with airstrikes targeting each other, the balance of power in the Middle East, which began to shift aft...
'Five more Kurds arrested in Iran [...] without a court order and no information has been obtained regarding the fate of those affected.
[...]
A wave of arrests has been taking place in Iran in recent days. According to the same sources, at least 151 people have been detained on “security” grounds in Eastern [Iran-held part of] Kurdistan and various cities across Iran in the last three days alone.'
https://anfenglish.com/kurdistan/five-more-kurds-arrested-in-iran-79917
This extremely probably is directly related to the governments of Israel and USA's war attacking the government of Iran, as Netanyahu and Gang have been once again striving to baselessly connect the antiauthoritarian feminist antiracist "Women! Life! Freedom!"-movement and related to their authoritarian sexist racist regime, which they must have known would only result in falsely legitimizing further persecution by the Iran-theocracy, as Netanyahu and fellow world "leaders" statements to same effect had that outcome previously too. It therefore seems probable that this is intentional and may be for the purpose of disabling the antiauthoritarian movements from resistance when Israel and USA intend to impose their replacement regime, which is likely the restoration of the Shah.

The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) now:
─────
The intensification and spread of major military operations in the Middle East risk engulfing the region—and the world—in a war with irreversible consequences.
The world cannot absorb limitless war. Upholding international humanitarian law is not a choice—it is an obligation.
Civilians must be spared from the conduct of hostilities. Medical personnel and first responders must be allowed to carry out their lifesaving work safely. This includes our colleagues at the Iranian Red Crescent Society. It also includes those at Magen David Adom.
The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) has delegations in both Iran and Israel and is mobilising teams and supplies to scale up to address increasing needs—but no humanitarian response can substitute for political will to prioritise peace, stability and human life.

AsozialesNetzwerk Sektion Köln@b9AcE Wait, how do they think ceasefires work?
Why would one negotiate a ceasefire when there is no firing to cease?
Why would one negotiate a ceasefire when there is no firing to cease?
@b9AcE Yeah, admittedly it was more of a rhetorical question towards the Iranian regime😄
They should have just said "We're not interested in a ceasefire right now", period.
Saying they won't negotiate a ceasefire while under attack makes no sense to me, as without a ceasefire the attacks won't stop anyway.
@ankoeln In other conflicts I have seen it demanded that the firing cease before negotiations begin for a ceasefire agreement. The agreement being a formalization of the state of no longer firing (supposedly) in practice.
Of course if one really wants the firing to cease as soon as possible, then any diplomacy in that direction would be taken at any time, so your general point still applies.

@b9AcE Interesting!
I wonder how that is supposed to work in practice though, as it would require one side to unilaterally stop attacking before negotiations about a ceasefire could even start.
And it would mean that in conflicts like the war in Ukraine, ceasefire negotiations could never happen as the firing never stops.

@ankoeln I believe I have seen cases where one side announces that "we will cease firing at [time]" and kinda hope that counterparty/ies follow along, but I don't remember which specific case(s) that would have been,
except for the PKK's unilateral ceasefire of course towards Turkey, but that a different type of conflict ("non international") and Erdoğan didn't cease firing in return.
