TEHRAN – Iran has claimed that more than 400 civilians have been killed and over 3,000 wounded in Israeli airstrikes conducted since June 13. The statement, delivered through state media and officials to international outlets like Al Jazeera, marks one of the most significant accusations in the current Iran-Israel conflict escalation.
Israel's Response
Israeli sources have confirmed killing more than 430 Iranians, including top military figures, in retaliatory strikes. At least 24 Israeli civilians have died in Iranian missile attacks, including a strike on a hospital in Be'er Sheva.
Verification Status
As of now, there is no independent confirmation from international bodies such as the UN or OCHA regarding the civilian death toll claimed by Iran. Access to affected zones in Iran remains limited due to ongoing air raids and internet blackouts.
Global Response
- The UN Secretary-General has called for immediate de-escalation.
- Diplomatic efforts are underway in Geneva to prevent a broader war.
- European powers have expressed concern over the growing humanitarian toll.
What's Next?
The situation remains tense. Iran has vowed retaliation, and Israel has indicated it will continue operations against Iranian military assets. Analysts fear this could tip the region into full-scale war if not contained diplomatically.
