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.

More on the prisoner State-murdered in apparent retaliation against Trump's joining USA to Netanyahu's war of aggression in Iran
https://iranhr.net/en/articles/7679/

The incompetence of the US VP JD keeps baffling.
Now claims the State USA is "not at war with Iran – we’re at war with Iran’s nuclear programme" 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-685809848f0808294ac4b671#block-685809848f0808294ac4b671 which is not a thing that is possible.
The definition of when a war between States starts is when the first bullet, other missile (what to do in the case of hostile Internet-packets is still being debated by scholars and other experts) or military force passes the border without invitation from the de jure (or by modernized definitions also other de facto) territory holder.
Unless USA had an invitation from the Iran-theocracy to come bomb, then USA is at war, committed an act of war of aggression, crime against peace, and is as a result at war until diplomatic resolution of one form or another is achieved.

A State can be at war against another State or against some domestic groups with Geneva Conventions compliant armed units.
States can NOT be at war against abstract concepts like "terrorism", "cubism", a "nuclear programme" (doubly so as even its existence is disputed), "gravity" or "the color chartreuse".
It is by the relevant definitions of the words not possible.

Another prisoner State-murdered by Iran in apparent retaliation for Trump's attack bringing USA to war for Israel.

We'll never know. We do know State-murder is the worst, most immoral and destructive, form of murder.

─────
This afternoon, on [June 23, 2025], the administrative buildings, courthouse, visitation hall, Infirmary, entrance of Evin Prison, and particularly wards 8 [=political prisoners and prisoners of conscience] and the women's ward getting most damaged.
According to the families present at these wards: "In the women's ward of Evin, the wall, part of the ceiling and windows of the ward have been destroyed. However, in the absence of medical care and failure to transfer the injured to the hospital, there is no complete information regarding the physical and mental health of these prisoners."
Additionally, in ward 8, despite some prisoners being injured, the prison guards attacked the prisoners, preventing them from escaping the horrifying situation.
Furthermore, according to some reports (which require confirmation from the families of these prisoners), detainees from the security ward 209 were transferred to a location outside the prison.

Iran says missile attack matched number of US bombs, signaling likely desire to de-escalate

Iran said its missile attack on Al Udeid air base in Qatar matched the number of bombs dropped by the United States on Iranian nuclear sites this weekend, signaling Iran’s likely desire to deescalate, AP reports.

Iran made the announcement on Monday night in a statement from its Supreme National Security Council after the attack, which Qatar said caused no injuries.

Iran also said it targeted the base because it was outside of populated areas.

• The entrance to Ward 4 of Evin Prison, the clinic of Ward 4, the visitor's hall, and the security wards 209, 240, 241, and 2A as well as the Evin and Kachui security courts have been attacked and seriously damaged. The women's ward of Evin Prison has also been damaged.
• Political and non-political prisoners of Evin are being transferred from Evin. So far all prisoners of Ward 4 of Evin have been completely transferred to Greater Tehran Central Penitentiary.

• The Coordinating Council of Iranian Teachers' Trade Associations, while condemning Israel's attack on civilian compatriots, especially today's attack on Evin Prison, calls for an end to the war and attacks on civilians.

Collective statement from Evin Prison, Tehran, in rough translation,
part 1 of 2:
─────
Today, Monday, June 23, 2025, Evin Prison was targeted by an airstrike. As a result of the impact from fighter jets attributed to Israel, parts of the administrative buildings, medical facilities, and the judicial office of the prison were severely damaged and destroyed.

Following this attack, a section of Ward 4 collapsed, windows and glass were shattered, and the interior space of the prison was destabilized. Simultaneously, many prisoners, in fear and seeking to save their lives, took refuge on lower floors, which resulted in injuries to several of them.

The prison's medical facilities have been effectively destroyed, and there are no initial resources available to address the condition of the injured inmates. Despite the deteriorating condition of some of the wounded, prison authorities have refused to transfer them to medical centers outside the prison, effectively leaving them without any care.

Meanwhile, instead of providing aid, security forces and prison guards have heavily secured the prison by deploying extensively in the wards, creating a highly secure environment. Threats, intimidation, and pressure on prisoners have increased, and we are facing double repression.

Part 2 of 2 of collective statement from Evin Prison, Tehran, in rough translation:
─────
Outside the prison, all routes leading to Evin have been completely blocked, and families are prevented from entering. Nevertheless, some families, despite the danger, have gathered in front of Evin Prison to learn about the fate of their loved ones.

We, the defenseless prisoners under siege, declare: In the face of bombardment, we had neither shelter nor an escape route; and in the face of the organized crime that has cast a shadow over our bodies, lives, and dignity for years, there is no shield left.

We appeal to the people, families, activists, and awakened consciences:
Do not remain silent.
Gather immediately in front of Evin Prison to save our lives.
We are injured, threatened, and may lose our lives at any moment.

If you're confused as to whether there is a ceasefire between Israel and Iran now as Trump claimed, then don't worry it seems everyone is confused.
It seems to me there was no agreement, but Trump says there is one with unclear terms, so some regime officials on both sides of the war claim they're following those terms as of the would-be-deadline regardless of not having actually agreed, while others seem to be continuing as previously.
