TEHRAN, March 7, 2026 (BSS/AFP) - Israeli and US attacks on a central Iranian province killed at least eight people on Saturday, a provincial official said, as the regional war entered its second week.

"Eight citizens, including a woman, were martyred in these terrorist attacks," said Akbar Salehi, a security official at the governor's office in Isfahan province.

AFP could not independently verify the toll.

He added that "80 houses were severely damaged" in the city of Isfahan as well as the Lenjan and Borkhar areas.
