	<p>Iran has reported a staggering death toll of over 1,100 people following a series of intense Israeli military strikes that began on June 13 and continued through June 24, 2025. The head of Iran's Foundation of Martyrs and Veterans Affairs announced the figures, noting that the toll could rise further as some individuals remain missing and others are in critical condition. The conflict, which marks a significant escalation in hostilities between the two nations, has also left approximately 5,600 people injured, according to Iranian officials.</p>
<p>The recent wave of violence began when Israel launched a surprise attack on Iran, targeting key infrastructure, including nuclear facilities and military sites. Israeli forces aimed to disrupt Iran's nuclear program, striking sites such as Natanz and Isfahan, which have long been suspected by Western nations of being used for nuclear weapons development. Iran has maintained that its nuclear program is for peaceful purposes, but the attacks have fueled international concerns about the potential for a broader regional conflict.</p>
<p>In retaliation, Iran launched hundreds of ballistic missiles and drones targeting Israeli cities, including Tel Aviv, Haifa, and Bat Yam. The strikes caused significant damage to residential and commercial areas, with reports of apartment buildings collapsing and fires breaking out near critical infrastructure like Haifa's oil refinery. Israeli emergency services confirmed at least 11 deaths and over 200 injuries, with rescue operations ongoing to locate survivors trapped under rubble.</p>
<p>In Iran, the civilian toll has been particularly devastating. Tehran's streets have been marked by chaos, with residents fleeing to rural areas or seeking shelter in underground bunkers. The strikes have damaged oil depots, power plants, and medical facilities, exacerbating the humanitarian crisis. Iranian state media reported that the majority of those killed were civilians, though several high-ranking military officials, including top commanders of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, were also among the casualties.</p>
<p>In Israel, the constant threat of missile and drone attacks has forced residents to remain near bomb shelters, disrupting daily life. Schools have been closed, and air travel has been severely restricted, with Ben Gurion Airport near Tel Aviv temporarily halting operations. The Israeli military has deployed its Iron Dome defense system to intercept incoming projectiles, but some missiles have evaded interception, causing significant destruction.</p>
<p>The escalating conflict has drawn global attention, with world leaders urging de-escalation. The United States, a key ally of Israel, has deployed additional military assets to the region, including warships and refueling aircraft, to bolster its defensive posture. However, U.S. officials have emphasized that they are not directly involved in the strikes on Iran. President Donald Trump, attending a G7 summit in Canada, described the situation as a priority, though he expressed hope for a potential diplomatic resolution.</p>
<p>Iran's foreign minister has warned that any U.S. military intervention would be dangerous for the region, while Iranian officials have signaled a willingness to engage in dialogue with Washington. The United Nations nuclear watchdog has expressed deep concern over the attacks on Iran's nuclear facilities, stressing that such actions could have serious implications for nuclear safety and regional stability.</p>
<p>The conflict has also raised fears of economic disruption, particularly in global oil markets. Iran, a major oil producer, reported damage to its Shahran oil depot and other energy infrastructure, though officials claimed the situation was under control. Analysts have warned that any disruption to oil flows through the Strait of Hormuz, a critical chokepoint for global oil trade, could have far-reaching consequences for energy prices worldwide.</p>
<p>The war has further strained Iran's relations with its neighbors, many of whom are also major oil producers. The decimation of Iran's regional proxies, including Hezbollah in Lebanon and Hamas in Gaza, has weakened its ability to project power, but the direct confrontation with Israel has rallied some Iranians behind their government. Protests in Tehran have called for resistance against Israeli aggression, while others quietly hope the conflict could lead to changes in Iran's leadership.</p>
<p>As the conflict enters its second week, both sides show no immediate signs of backing down. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has vowed to continue strikes until Iran's nuclear capabilities are fully dismantled, while Iranian leaders have promised a forceful response to any further aggression. The international community remains on edge, with calls for a ceasefire growing louder amid fears of a broader war that could engulf the Middle East.</p>
<p>For now, the people of Iran and Israel bear the brunt of the violence, with thousands displaced and communities shattered. The path to peace remains uncertain, but the toll of this conflict underscores the urgent need for diplomatic efforts to prevent further loss of life.</p>
