The spokesperson for Iran’s Health Ministry has released an updated death toll from Israel’s attacks on Iranian territory, Al Jazeera reports.

In a post on X, Hossein Kermanpour said at least 627 people were killed and 4,870 wounded in Israeli strikes.

Tehran recorded the highest number of casualties, followed by Kermanshah, with Khuzestan, Lorestan, and Isfahan reporting significant losses, he said.

“I make no judgments,” Kermanpour wrote. “I do not describe the painful scenes of the arrival of injured children, mothers, and civilians, and I leave it to the judgment of humanity’s conscience today.”

About 86.1 per cent of the victims died at the scene, while 13.9pc succumbed to their wounds in hospitals.
