Tehran, Mar 03 (V7N) — The death toll in Iran from the ongoing joint US-Israeli attacks has reportedly risen to 787, according to the Iranian Red Crescent Society, which shared the information with state media on Tuesday (March 3). No confirmed figures were provided for the number of injured.

Earlier, on Sunday (March 1), the Red Crescent had reported that 57 people were killed within a 24-hour period. Meanwhile, the US-based Iranian human rights organization HRANA reported that 742 civilians, including 176 children, had died as a result of the attacks.

The attacks, which began on Saturday (February 28), reportedly targeted over 500 facilities across 153 cities in Iran. Among those killed were several high-ranking officials, including Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

Since the initial strikes, Iran has reportedly launched counter-attacks on Gulf countries allied with the United States. Both Israel and the US continue to conduct military operations in the region, further escalating the conflict and raising concerns over broader regional instability.

The situation remains fluid, with humanitarian agencies warning of increasing civilian casualties and widespread disruption across Iran and neighboring countries.
