At least 53 people have been killed by US strikes on Iran since July 6, according to Iran’s Ministry of Health, as violence between Washington and Tehran escalated this month.
Nearly 600 others have been injured in Iran, the semi-official Tasnim News Agency reported on Wednesday, citing the Health Ministry.
The reported casualties come after the US intensified attacks on Iran earlier this month following Iranian strikes on several commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz, a key waterway that has become a major point of tension in negotiations between the two sides.
Over the weekend, the Pentagon said at least three US service members were killed in Iranian attacks across the region.
