Survey Note: Detailed Review of Israeli Cities that will be Affected by the Iran-Israel Conflict
By June 18, 2025, the current Iran-Israel conflict has had a considerable toll on the various Israeli cities with missile attacks, air assaults, and security arrangements being reported. This is a note that gives an in-depth analysis of verified international media, government statements, and conflict monitors with a provision of a complete picture of the affected regions and their implications.
History and Setting
The tension peaked in mid 2025 when Israel carried out Operation Rising Lion on June 13 against Iranian nuclear and military targets and Iran responded back with Operation True Promise III using ballistic missiles and drones. This has seen a direct confrontation as both countries fire back at each other, hitting both civilian and military targets in Israel. The matter is rather dynamic, and the latest information is on June 18, 2025, as no particular reports on June 19, 2025, were found during this research.

Additional Cities iran and Military Objectives
Tehran: The Impact Hub
The capital Tehran in Iran was the center of the conflict with reports showing that about 585 persons were killed, of which at least 239 were civilians and more than 1300 were injured. This comprised several waves of airstrikes and drone attacks which resulted into failure of communications, excessive shelters and significant destruction of infrastructure and military bases.
Additional Cities and Military Objectives
There were also military targets like cities of Isfahan (Natanz), Tabriz, Khorramabad, Kermanshah, Shiraz, Khomein, and Garmsar, which were mainly targeted in military related facilities such as nuclear plants and missile bases. The effects of civilians in such regions are mostly unverified or at least reported to be minimal, with little to no information available since the military targets are mainly focused on.
The Total Casualties
The total number of reported deaths in Iran differs across sources: 224 killed by the Iranian authorities, 408 by HRANA and 585 by Human Rights Activists, with injuries ranging between 1,277 and over 1,300. Such inconsistencies indicate the problematic nature of reporting conflicts particularly in Tehran where most civilians lost their lives.
Survey Note: In-depth Report on Affected Iranian Cities (June 12 -18, 2025)
This report gives a detailed account of the repercussions on the cities of Iran in the course of the Israel-Iran conflict between June 12-18, 2025 in terms of casualties and injuries and military sites. The research relies on various sources such as news, human rights reports, and official statements to make sure that a comprehensive picture of the situation is drawn.
History and Setting
On June 12-18, 2025, an escalation of the conflict between Israel and Iran was noted, which was characterized by airstrikes and counter-blow missile attacks. Tehran became the capital of civilian deaths, and other cities were mainly attacked based on military facilities. The figures represent a combination of official Iranian statistics, human rights reviews and foreign news reporting, and there are some inconsistencies that testify to the difficulty of conflict reporting.
Casualty and Injury Statistics
Tehran:
The capital Tehran was the most affected, with the reports indicating the approximate number of people killed was 585 including 239 civilians and 126 security personals with over 1,300 people injured. This number is in line with the original inquiry of the user and it is backed up by locally verified reports. But the official Iranian news as of June 16, 2025, showed fewer figures with 224 killed and 1,277 injured, which indicates that there was some underreporting of official figures.
To compare, on June 15, 2025, NPR cited the Health Ministry in Iran as stating 224 dead and 1,481 wounded, nearly the official figures but more in the wounded category. This trend was also supported by an X post on June 18, 2025 by @SanatanPrabhat who reported that 224 people died and 1481 got injured in Iran during the last 6 days. On the other hand,
HRANA (Human Rights Activists News Agency) provided greater figures, 585 people were killed in total, however, their detailed report of June 15, 2025, recorded 22 persons killed and 90 injured on June 14, and 863 people (killed and injured) were killed and injured June 13-14, which also may imply inconsistencies or other definitions of the term “casualties.”
Considering the inconsistencies, the HRANA and AP News higher numbers appear to be of a more complete tally, including unofficial or unreported deaths, whereas the official Iranian ones could be underrepresented as the government does not allow the spreading of such information.
Other Cities Effects
Other than Tehran, a number of cities were struck, mostly military infrastructure, and civilian effects were unclear and/or minor. The above table can summarize the targeted cities and those that got affected according to reports made by Wikipedia and other sources: lafznews

What is the main conflict between Iran and Israel?
The main conflict stems from ideological, strategic, and regional power rivalries. Iran, post-1979 Islamic Revolution, opposes Israel’s existence, viewing it as an illegitimate state and a U.S. ally. Iran supports anti-Israel proxy groups like Hezbollah and Hamas, while Israel targets Iran’s nuclear program, fearing it poses an existential threat. The conflict involves direct strikes (e.g., Israel’s 2025 attacks on Iranian nuclear sites and Iran’s retaliatory missile barrages) and proxy wars in Syria, Lebanon, and Gaza.
Who is more powerful, Iran or Israel?
Military Comparison: Israel has a smaller but more advanced military, with superior air power (U.S.-supplied fighter jets) and sophisticated defenses like the Iron Dome. It claims aerial superiority over Tehran and has conducted precise strikes on Iranian targets. Iran has a larger population (88 million vs. Israel’s 9 million) and a vast ballistic missile arsenal (2,000–3,000), but its air defenses and aging air force are less effective. Israel’s technological edge and U.S. support give it an advantage in direct confrontations, though Iran’s proxy network (Hezbollah, Houthis) and missile volume pose significant threats.
Can you go to Iran if you’ve been to Israel?
-
-
Iran does not permit entry to individuals with Israeli stamps or visas in their passports, as it does not recognize Israel and considers such travel evidence of affiliation with an enemy state. Travelers with Israeli stamps may be denied visas or entry, and questioning at the border can be rigorous. Some countries issue visas on separate sheets to avoid stamps, but Iran’s strict policies make travel risky post-Israel visits. Using a new passport or avoiding direct evidence of Israel travel may mitigate issues, but caution is advised.

How was Israel involved in the Iran-Iraq War? (Repeated question)
During the Iran-Iraq War (1980–1988), Israel’s involvement was covert and pragmatic, driven by the “periphery doctrine” to counter Arab threats by aligning with non-Arab states like Iran (pre-1979) and others. Despite Iran’s hostility post-1979 revolution, Israel supplied Iran with military aid to prolong the war and weaken both Iraq and Iran, seen as threats:
