Tehran, Iran — The Iranian government has confirmed that at least 935 people were killed during the recent 12-day war with Israel, according to a report issued Monday by state-run media, IRNA.
The figure was revealed nearly a week after a ceasefire took effect on June 24, bringing an end to a brutal exchange of airstrikes and missile attacks between the two Middle Eastern powers.
Of the 935 deaths reported, 132 were women and 38 were children, according to Asghar Jahangir, spokesman for Iran’s judiciary.
The war, which began on June 13, saw Israel launch a major bombing campaign targeting military bases, nuclear facilities, and residential areas across Iran. The coordinated assault reportedly killed several top military commanders and atomic scientists.
In response, Iran retaliated with waves of missiles and drone strikes, striking key Israeli cities including Tel Aviv and Haifa. Israeli officials confirmed that 28 people were killed during Iran’s counter-offensive.
The large-scale conflict marked one of the most intense military confrontations between the two nations in decades, with widespread destruction reported on both sides.
The ceasefire, which took effect on June 24, remains in place, though tensions continue to simmer.
More updates to follow as investigations into the damage and casualties continue.
