Airstrike kills six family members including six-month-old baby in Eyvan, western Iran

A US-Israeli airstrike struck a residential building in Eyvan, a city in Iran's Ilam Province in the far west of the country, killing six members of the same family. Among the dead was a six-month-old baby. The Iranian judiciary's official news agency Mizan reported the strike, citing local judicial sources. The Associated Press shared the report from Iranian state media, which was independently confirmed by local reporting cited by Middle East Eye. Eyvan is a small city in Ilam Province, located in the Zagros Mountains near the Iraqi border — a geographically significant area as it lies along historical IRGC logistics routes into Iraq and Syria. The province borders Ilam city, the provincial capital, and has IRGC infrastructure related to the Iran-Iraq frontier operations. Whether the residential building in Eyvan was targeted deliberately or struck in error has not been confirmed. The death of six members of a single family, including an infant, is among the most direct civilian casualty events of the 14-day conflict documented by name and location. Iran's cumulative civilian toll has reached at least 1,230–1,444 killed depending on the source, but individual named incidents of family deaths including children have been less frequently reported with full detail. The strike extends the geographic footprint of the US-Israeli campaign to a new province in western Iran, consistent with the broader pattern of widening target sets visible in the Tabriz strikes on the same day. Iran's western provinces are strategically significant as logistical corridors to Hezbollah, PMF, and other proxy networks operating in Iraq and Syria.
