Tehran, March 5 (AFP) Mar 05, 2026
Iran's state-run Foundation of Martyrs and Veterans Affairs said on Thursday that the death toll from US and Israeli strikes on the Islamic republic has risen to 1,230.

AFP was not in a position to verify the toll.

"The number of martyrs from the aggressive military attack carried out by criminal America and the usurping Israeli regime against the Islamic homeland had reached 1,230 as of March 5," the foundation said, according to Iran's official IRNA news agency.
