"Drones and missiles hit civilian and military sites as well as targets associated with the country's nuclear program, which Israel has long seen as an existential threat. Iran retaliated, attacking civilian areas in Israel. In Tehran, this residential neighborhood, home to one of Iran's top nuclear scientists, was among the locations hit. A floor below him lived the Abbasi family. Hasan Shaygan was their building manager."
"Parviz and Masoumeh Abbasi lived with their son, 16-year-old Parham, and their daughter, 24-year-old Parnia. They moved into the apartment last year and filmed this moment of celebration. Azadeh Shariarifar is Masoumeh's sister and aunt to Parham and Parnia. She's an artist and photographer. Her first exhibition dealt with the theme of life and death, and it was due to open on the day of the bombing."
Israeli forces attacked Iranian nuclear facilities, defense systems and senior military figures in June, using drones and missiles that struck civilian and military sites. Iran launched ballistic missiles in retaliation, hitting major Israeli cities and killing 31 people. In Iran more than 1,000 victims were reported, including Parviz and Masoumeh Abbasi and their children Parham, 16, and Parnia, 24, who were killed in Tehran when a residential neighborhood was struck. Relatives, including Masoumeh's sister Azadeh Shariarifar, expressed grief and anger. Azadeh, an artist, had an exhibition about life and death scheduled to open the day of the bombing. The family was buried in a cemetery area for war victims.
