Iranian official says at least 3,375 people killed in the country since U.S. and Israel launched attacks
Iran on Monday offered a new death toll for the war with Israel and the United States, with its forensic chief saying at least 3,375 people had been killed in the conflict.
The figure came from Abbas Masjedi, the head of Iran's Legal Medicine Organization.
Masjedi, quoted by the judiciary's Mizan news agency and other outlets Monday, said only four of the dead remain unidentified.
Masjedi said 383 of the dead were children 18 years old and under.
His comments did not break down casualties among civilians and security forces, instead just saying 2,875 were male and 496 were female.
The figures raised questions about whether or not security force members were included, particularly given the levels of intense bombings targeting military bases and arsenals in the country.
