Iranian authorities have announced that 935 people were killed during a brutal 12-day conflict with Israel, which erupted on June 13. The dead include 132 women and 38 children, according to judiciary spokesman Asghar Jahangir, as reported by the Tasnim news agency.
Among the casualties were 79 people killed in a devastating Israeli airstrike on Tehran’s Evin Prison.
Jahangir stated that the victims included inmates, prison staff, and nearby residents. He condemned the prison bombing as a “blatant violation” of international human rights, revealing that the facility was rendered unusable and had to be evacuated.
Earlier figures from Iran’s Health Ministry had reported 606 deaths and over 5,300 injuries, highlighting the rising toll as more information emerges.
The conflict began with coordinated Israeli strikes on Iranian military, nuclear, and civilian targets. The United States also participated, targeting key nuclear facilities at Fordo, Natanz, and Isfahan.
In response, Iran launched missile and drone attacks on Israeli territory, resulting in 29 deaths and more than 3,400 injuries, according to the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.
A U.S.-brokered ceasefire took effect on June 24, bringing a temporary halt to the hostilities after nearly two weeks of intense violence.
