BAKU, Azerbaijan, April 12. The identities of
3,375 people killed in Iran as a result of U.S. and Israeli
military airstrikes on the country between February 28 and April 7
have been established by Iran’s Forensic Medicine Organization,
Trend
reports.
According to Iran’s Forensic Medicine Organization, Abbas
Masjedi, of those identified, 2,875 were men and 496 were women.
The highest number of deaths resulting from the war was recorded in
Tehran, Hormozgan, and Isfahan provinces.
Masjedi added that among those whose identities were
established, 7 were under the age of 1, 255 were between 1 and 12
years old, and 121 were between 13 and 18 years old.
The organization’s representative stated that among the
deceased, 1,761 were between the ages of 19 and 40, 907 were
between 41 and 60, and 223 were over the age of 61.
“Most of those killed are Iranian citizens. However, among the
dead there are also citizens of Afghanistan, Syria, Türkiye,
Pakistan, China, Iraq, and Lebanon,” he noted.
Due to the lack of concrete results between the U.S. and Iran
regarding the nuclear program, the U.S. and Israel launched
military airstrikes against Iran on February 28, while Iran on the
same day began striking Israel and U.S. facilities in the region
with missiles and UAVs. A two-week ceasefire agreement between the
sides was reached on April 7 through Pakistan’s mediation. Talks
held between the U.S. and Iran in Islamabad on April 11 ended
without an agreement.
