Iran’s Health Ministry says US strikes over the past month have killed 53 people, including six women and three children, and wounded nearly 600 people.

The figure does not distinguish between civilians and combatants.

Four US servicemembers have been killed during the same period.

The US military said earlier today that it had completed an 11th night of strikes on Iran, with targets including aircraft hangars and drone storage sites.

Iran’s paramilitary Revolutionary Guard insists its retaliatory attacks on American targets will continue.
