Iran Reports 1,060 Dead in 12-Day War with Israel

Iran's government has officially reported that at least 1,060 people were killed during the 12-day war with Israel in June, with the death toll potentially rising to 1,100 due to the severity of injuries sustained. The conflict began with Israeli attacks on June 12 targeting Iranian nuclear facilities and resulted in significant destruction, including damage to air defenses, military sites, and nuclear infrastructure. Saeed Ohadi, head of Iran's Foundation of Martyrs and Veterans Affairs, provided these figures in an interview on Iranian state television, acknowledging the expanding recognition of the war's toll since the ceasefire. Independent estimates from the Washington-based Human Rights Activists group suggest the death toll may be higher, at 1,190, including civilians and security forces, with thousands more wounded. Meanwhile, U.S. President Donald Trump indicated that Iran is interested in resuming nuclear program negotiations, a process interrupted by the conflict but expected to continue soon. Despite the ceasefire, Iran has yet to disclose the full extent of military material losses sustained during the war.
