TEHRAN, March (Xinhua) -- Families in Tehran mourned relatives killed in U.S.-Israeli airstrikes, as Iran said the attacks have killed more than 1,300 civilians and destroyed 9,669 civilian sites since Feb. 28.

"They are deliberately and indiscriminately targeting civilians and civilian infrastructure across my country. They show no respect for international law and no restraint in committing these crimes," Amir Saeid Iravani, Iran's ambassador and permanent representative to the United Nations, said Tuesday.
