Death toll in Iran due to attacks by the US and Israel rises to 787, Iranian state media says

The death toll in Iran from ongoing conflict involving the US and Israel has risen to 787, as reported by Iranian state media.

The number of fatalities in Iran due to the latest military conflict involving the United States and Israel has reached 787, according to state-run media reports. This figure was released on the fourth day of the war, coming shortly after new Israeli airstrikes targeted the Iranian capital, Tehran. It's noted that the latest casualties from Tuesday's attacks may not have been included in this total yet, indicating that the actual death toll could be higher.

The conflict ignited on Saturday when extensive bombings in Iranian territory resulted in the deaths of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and several military officials. This led to Iran launching retaliatory strikes against US forces, Israeli military targets, and various nations in the Middle East, thereby escalating the conflict significantly beyond its initial scope. The violence includes attacks on civilian sites, raising international concerns about military actions in populated areas.

Among those reported dead are 165 victims of an airstrike on a women's school, which has prompted the Iranian government to conduct funerals for the victims. The ongoing attacks have lined up significant humanitarian implications and have raised alarms about the stability of the region and the possible involvement of additional countries in the escalating hostilities.
