Iranian medical official puts war toll at over 3,000

A top medical official in Iran has put the death toll in the war with Israel and the United States at over 3,000 people.

The state-run IRAN daily newspaper quotes Abbas Masjedi, head of the Legal Medicine Organization, as saying “more than 3,000 people were killed in enemy attacks.”

Masjedi does not elaborate on the breakdown in civilian versus military casualties.

Iran’s government has not provided any definitive death toll from the weekslong war.
