Iran’s Ministry of Health announced on Saturday that 430 people have been killed and more than 3,500 others injured since the start of Israeli military strikes on Iranian territory.
The ministry’s statement described the casualties as the result of continued “Zionist aggression,” which has targeted civilian areas and infrastructure. Officials warned that the toll is expected to rise as rescue operations continue and more injuries are reported from affected regions.
The Iranian government has condemned the attacks as a blatant violation of international law and has called on the global community to intervene to stop the ongoing assault.
