Shafaq News – Tehran
A total of 1,100 Iranian people were killed during Iran’s recent 12-day conflict with Israel, Saeed Ohadi, head of the Foundation of Martyrs and Veterans Affairs, announced on Monday, as an official death toll released by Tehran since the fighting began on the 13th of June.
In a televised interview, Ohadi added, “The burial efforts are ongoing, and 1,060 of the victims have been laid to rest so far,” noting that the final toll may still rise, as some of the wounded remain in intensive care and others have yet to be identified.
Among the victims, 126 were women and 41 were children, Ohadi explained, accusing Israel of “deliberately targeting civilians in violation of international law.”
The Iran-Israel war, which erupted on June 13 and lasted for 12 days, resulted in heavy casualties and widespread infrastructure damage on both sides. The conflict also saw US involvement, including strikes targeting Iranian nuclear facilities.
