Early Monday strikes damaged buildings at Tehran's Sharif University of Technology, which several countries have sanctioned over work on Iran's missile program, and a neighbouring gas distribution site; a strike on residential units in Baharestan county near Eslamshahr killed at least 13, Fars reported. Iranian media tallied at least 34 dead from the overnight wave, including 23 in Tehran province, five in Qom and six in Bandar-e Lengeh.
Why it matters
The strikes came hours after Trump's profanity-laced deadline post and extended the campaign to a major university campus as the night's toll passed 30.
