Iran reports 3,468 dead in war with US, Israel: Official 18.04.2026

The Straits Times

Iran's Foundation of Martyrs and Veterans Affairs has reported that the recent conflict with the United States and Israel resulted in the deaths of 3,468 people. This announcement comes during a two-week ceasefire that began following US-Israeli strikes initiated in late February. The Foundation head, Ahmad Mousavi, stated the figure of "martyrs" who "fell during the recent conflict." Discrepancies exist in reported death tolls, with the Human Rights Activists News Agency (HRANA) indicating at least 3,636 fatalities, including civilians and children. AFP has been unable to independently verify these numbers due to reporting limitations and restricted access to strike locations within Iran.
