At least 112 people have been killed and 969 others injured following a wave of airstrikes in Iran’s Kurdistan province, according to local emergency authorities.
Officials from the provincial emergency services said dozens of victims remain hospitalized, including 27 patients receiving treatment in regular wards and five in intensive care as medical teams continue to respond to the growing casualty figures.
The attacks were reportedly carried out by forces linked to the United States and Israel, escalating tensions with Iran and deepening the humanitarian impact in the Kurdish-populated region.
The strikes come amid speculation that Kurdish armed groups operating along the frontier between Iran and Iraq could be drawn further into the conflict.
These groups, many of which oppose the Iranian government, maintain bases in northern Iraq and are estimated to have several thousand fighters across the border areas.

However, Donald Trump recently indicated that Washington does not support a Kurdish ground offensive into Iran, warning that expanding the war could complicate an already fragile regional security situation.
Local authorities say the latest strikes have severely strained emergency services and hospitals, while residents in affected communities continue to deal with the aftermath of destruction and displacement.
Humanitarian groups warn that the rising casualties and damage to infrastructure could worsen living conditions in the border region if the conflict intensifies further.
