Iran's network of government service offices is continuing to operate at full capacity across the country despite the ongoing conflict, Ali Fallah Haghighi, secretary general of the national employers' association for government service offices, told ILNA on March 9.

Fallah Haghighi said the offices, which provide a range of public services on behalf of government agencies, were functioning without interruption and serving citizens as normal.

"In conditions where the country is facing hybrid warfare and various pressures from enemies, the extensive network of service offices stands alongside the people with a heightened sense of responsibility and continues to deliver services without pause," he said.

He praised the managers and staff of offices across the country for maintaining operations during the crisis, saying they had "always been alongside the people at sensitive moments."

The statement is part of a broader effort by Iranian authorities to project continuity and institutional stability as the conflict with the US and Israel enters its tenth day.

Iran's Health Ministry reported on March 6 that 1,221 people had been killed and up to 10,000 wounded since the strikes began, with 20 hospitals damaged across the country.

Iran's Association of Travel Service Offices confirmed on March 6 that all land borders remained open to foreign nationals, while comprehensive health centres and dental clinics were also reported to be operating.

Schools and universities in several provinces have been closed, with some government offices running at 50% staffing levels.
