TEHRAN, June 30, 2025 (BSS/AFP) - Iran's judiciary said at least 935 people 
were killed in the country during its 12-day war with Israel, state media 
reported Monday, nearly a week since a ceasefire took hold.

"During the 12-day war waged by the Zionist regime against our country, 935 
martyrs have been identified so far," the official IRNA news agency quoted 
judiciary spokesman Asghar Jahangir as saying. 

The death toll included 132 women and 38 children, Jahangir said. 

He added that the death toll from an Israeli strike on Tehran's Evin prison 
has risen to 79, and includes inmates, visiting relatives and administrative 
staff. 

Israel on June 13 launched a major bombing campaign against Iran, killing top 
military commanders and atomic scientists.

The Israeli strikes hit military bases, nuclear sites as well as residential 
areas across Iran. 

Iran retaliated with waves of missiles and drone strikes which hit major 
cities in Israel including Tel Aviv and Haifa, killing 28 people, according 
to Israeli authorities. 

A ceasefire between Iran and Israel took effect on June 24.
