Iran says 50 killed, more than 500 injured in recent US attacks

Iran's Health Ministry says 50 people have been martyred and more than 500 others injured in US attacks across the country since June 27.

Hossein Kermanpour, head of the Health Ministry's Public Relations Center, said on Saturday that the death toll includes five women and two children under the age of 18, while 32 women and 18 children were among the injured.

He added that 28 surgeries have been performed so far, 460 patients have been discharged, and 37 remain hospitalized.

The United States has perpetrated numerous violations against Iranian territory since April 7, when US President Donald Trump announced a unilateral ceasefire in the latest round of American-Israeli aggression targeting the Islamic Republic.

The violations continued even after Washington and Tehran signed a Pakistan-mediated memorandum of understanding last month, whose first clause clearly mandates cessation of aggression on all fronts.

The US has also been trying to help vessels evade the maritime route designated by the Islamic Republic for safe and legal passage through the Strait of Hormuz by seeking to escort trespassing vessels through an illegal passageway.

Iran's armed forces have carried out uncompromising retaliation in response to every violation, including those involving support for illegal vessel movements in the Strait of Hormuz.
