The war in the Middle East has entered its second week. In response to Israeli and US strikes on targets in Iran, which began on February 28, Iran responded with strikes not only on Israel, but also on surrounding Middle Eastern countries, on whose territory there are US military bases and personnel. Lebanon, where Iran's proxies from "Hezbollah" operate, has also been involved in the conflict, Reuters recalls and presents a report on casualties in the conflict so far. The agency specifies that it has not verified the data it has with independent sources, BTA reported.
Iran – At least 1,230 people have been killed, including 175 schoolgirls and staff at a primary school in the Iranian city of Minab, which was hit by a missile strike on the first day of the war, according to the Iranian Red Crescent. It is not clear whether the death toll in Minab includes the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps soldiers who were killed near the school. Iran's military says at least 104 people died when a US submarine sank an Iranian warship off the coast of Sri Lanka last week. Those deaths are not included in the Red Crescent's toll.
