The head of the Iranian Legal Medicine Organization, which sits under the country’s judiciary, said on Sunday that 3,375 people in Iran had been killed in the war with the United States and Israel.
“During the recent imposed war, the bodies of 3,375 martyrs were identified by the Legal Medicine Organization using scientific and specialised methods,” said Abbas Masjedi, state news agency IRNA reported.
He said the toll included 2,875 males and 496 females, without specifying if they were adults or children, according to the agency.
Due to reporting restrictions, AFP is not able to access the sites of strikes nor to independently verify tolls in Iran.
In a related development, Russian President Vladimir Putin on Sunday held a phone conversation with Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian, offering Russia’s support for efforts to resolve the escalating Middle East crisis following the collapse of talks between Iran and the United States.
According to the Kremlin, Putin said he was ready to assist diplomatic efforts toward a settlement.
“Vladimir Putin emphasised his readiness to further facilitate the search for a political and diplomatic settlement to the conflict, and to mediate efforts to achieve a just and lasting peace in the Middle East,” the Kremlin said in its readout of the call, as reported by AFP.
The call came after Iran and the United States failed to reach an agreement on Sunday aimed at ending hostilities linked to the wider Middle East conflict, although there was no immediate resumption of fighting.
Despite the breakdown, world leaders reportedly urged both sides to continue pursuing diplomatic options. READ MORE
