The U.S.-Israeli joint attacks in Iran killed 3,483 people and wounded 40,000 others, SNN reported, citing Iranian Health Ministry representative Hossein Kermanpour.
The most recent death toll released by Iran before this report was 3,375.
The U.S. and Israel launched what they described as a pre-emptive strike against Iran on February 28, claiming that Tehran was developing a nuclear weapon and posing a threat—an allegation Iran has denied. In response, Iran launched counterattacks, firing missiles and drones at Israel, as well as at U.S. assets and other targets across the Middle East.
Iran and the United States agreed to a ceasefire on April 8 following 40 days of fighting. Iranian and U.S. delegations later met for talks in Islamabad on April 11 and 12 but did not reach an agreement. In recent weeks, the two sides have exchanged several draft proposals through mediator Pakistan as part of efforts to end the conflict.
