A vehicle drives along a residential area targeted by Israeli attacks in Astaneh-ye Ashrafiyeh, Gilan Province, 346 km (214 miles) northwest of Tehran, Iran, on August 19, 2025. Seventeen civilians, including Mohammad Reza Seddighi Saber, a senior Iranian nuclear scientist and high-ranking member of the Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), and his family, die in an Israeli airstrike on the northern Iranian city of Astaneh-ye Ashrafiyeh in Gilan Province, just hours before a ceasefire between Iran and Israel.
