Iran’s health ministry said Sunday that three days of Israeli strikes on the country had killed 224 people and injured more than 1,200.

“After 65 hours of aggression by the Zionist regime, 1,277 people have been injured. 224 women, men and children have been martyred,” the ministry’s spokesman Hossein Kermanpour wrote on X, adding that 90 percent of those killed had been civilians.
