DUBAI – The Iranian government has announced a new casualty count from its conflict with Israel, reporting that at least 1,060 individuals have died, with a caution that this number may increase.
Saeed Ohadi, leader of Iran’s Foundation of Martyrs and Veterans Affairs, disclosed this figure during an interview broadcasted by Iranian state television on Monday evening.
Ohadi warned the death toll may reach 1,100 given how severely some people were wounded.
Throughout the hostilities, Iran had minimized the impact of Israel’s 12-day aerial assault, which crippled its air defenses, targeted military bases, and inflicted damage on its nuclear facilities. Since the truce began, Iran has gradually recognized the extent of the damage, although it has yet to disclose the full extent of its military losses.
The Washington-based Human Rights Activists group, which has provided detailed casualty figures from multiple rounds of unrest in Iran, has said 1,190 people were killed, including 436 civilians and 435 security force members. The attacks wounded another 4,475 people, the group said.
