The death toll from US strikes on Iran during the latest escalation has risen to 38, with more than 400 people now injured, Iranian Health Ministry spokesperson Hossein Kermanpour said.

On Wednesday, Iranian authorities reported 35 dead and at least 300 wounded.

“As of 06:30, the number of people injured in the American attacks has exceeded 400, and 38 compatriots have been killed,” Kermanpour wrote on X.

According to the official, three women were killed and 22 were injured; among those under 18, there was one fatality and nine injuries.

The latest escalation in US-Iran relations began on July 8: for the first time since the signing of the memorandum between Washington and Tehran, the US armed forces launched several waves of strikes on the territory of the Islamic Republic, allegedly in response to an attack on a commercial vessel in the Strait of Hormuz. On the same day, US President Donald Trump announced the end of the truce with Iran. In response, Tehran began carrying out strikes on US facilities in the Middle East located in Bahrain, Jordan, Qatar, Kuwait, the UAE, and Oman.
