The US and Israel have damaged or destroyed more than 85,000 civilian structures in Iran since late February, including 64,583 homes, 600 schools and 281 medical facilities, the head of the Iranian Red Crescent Society said on Wednesday.
Thank you for the reply, but I can’t find anything on the number of schools hit at the CNN or Al Jazeera links you provided. Am I just missing it? They say the live coverage has ended, and then there’s a link to their ongoing coverage, but nothing mentioned about the schools. 600 is a pretty big number (though even one is too many), that’s why I’m asking.
In Tehran province, strikes have affected 275 pharmaceutical, health and emergency centers, 498 schools and 17 Red Crescent centers, Islamic Republic News Agency (IRNA) said, citing Pir Hossein Kolivand, head of Iran’s Red Crescent society.
Do you happen to have a better source?
It’s being fairly widely reported, though most sites seem to say 498 schools damaged, not 600. CNN, for example.. The source is a statement by the head of Iran’s Red Crescent, Pirossein Kholivand.

From the CNN article:
The Al Jazeera link has the same number.
I see it now, thank you.
