Iran’s death toll from Israeli war rises to 1,100
Saeed Ohadi said in an interview with the Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting (IRIB) on Monday that, "Regarding the martyrs, as of tonight, we have buried 1,060 loved ones across the country.”
Ohadi said that the 12-day Israeli strikes across the country have claimed the lives of 1,100 people. The country’s Health Ministry had earlier announced the death of 935 people in the regime’s attacks which began on June 13.
He said that the death toll from the Israeli aggression includes 126 women and 41 children, which claimed the lives of civilians, nuclear scientists and the country’s top military commanders.
The US also joined the aggression by targeting the three Iranian nuclear facilities of Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan.
A cease-fire proposed by the US put an end to the conflict on June 24 after Iran launched barrages of missiles at Israel’s targets in the occupied territories and at the largest US military base in the Middle East in Qatar.
According to a survey conducted by Iran’s Parliament, 80 percent of Iranians believe that Iran's missile attacks have dealt a very significant blow to the Israel regime.
Head of the Islamic Parliament Research Center Babak Negahdari said that the survey shows that 61% of people consider Iran's military strength superior, while 20% view Iran and Israel's military capabilities as roughly equal.
He added that around 60% of people also believe Iran has gained a stronger position in the Middle East following the conflict.
