Iran- Israel war: Tehran says over 1,060 killed in war with Israel; toll may rise as injuries mount

The Iranian government on Tuesday announced that at least 1,060 people have died in its war with Israel and warned that more deaths may take place.

Saeed Ohadi, the head of Iran's Foundation of Martyrs and Veterans Affairs, revealed the number in an interview with Iranian state television late Monday.

Ohadi said the number of deaths may rise to 1,100, as many people were badly injured.

Tehran tried to show that the damages caused by Israel’s 12-day attack were not that serious, even though the attacks badly damaged its air defences, military bases, and nuclear sites.

Since the ceasefire, Iran has gradually admitted the extent of the destruction but hasn’t revealed how much military equipment it lost.

The Washington-based Human Rights Activists group has reported that 1,190 people have died in the unrest in Iran, including 435 members of the security forces and 436 civilians. They also said that 4,475 people were injured in the attacks.
