Iran’s Health Minister Mohammad-Reza Zafarghandi said recent U.S. strikes on southern provinces killed 60 people and injured about 670 during 10 to 12 days of fighting. The announcement provides one of the latest official casualty updates following the recent escalation in regional tensions.
Speaking about the impact of the attacks, Zafarghandi said health authorities recorded approximately 670 injured people during the latest round of hostilities. However, he did not provide a detailed breakdown of the casualties or identify the affected provinces.
The health minister also did not clarify how many of those killed or injured were civilians or military personnel. As a result, the latest figures offer only a broad overview of the reported human toll from the recent conflict.
Iranian officials have regularly released information about civilian casualties since the conflict involving the United States and Israel intensified last year. Nevertheless, authorities have continued limiting public information regarding military losses throughout the confrontation.
The latest figures come as Iran continues assessing the damage caused by the recent attacks across several parts of the country. Government agencies have also worked to restore essential services and support affected communities following the strikes.
Regional tensions remain elevated despite a recent reduction in direct military activity. Diplomatic efforts continue alongside security developments as governments monitor the situation and assess the possibility of further escalation.
Analysts say casualty updates remain politically significant because they shape public understanding of the conflict and influence international discussions surrounding humanitarian conditions. Therefore, official statements from health authorities continue attracting close attention both inside Iran and abroad.
Looking ahead, Iranian officials may release additional information as investigations continue and authorities verify casualty records. Further updates could provide greater clarity about the full humanitarian impact of the recent U.S. strikes on Iran.
