TEHRAN – Said Ohadi, head of the Iranian martyr and veterans foundation, confirmed Monday that at least 1,062 people were killed and 5,800 were injured during Israel’s 12-day military attacks on Iran.
Speaking at a Tehran press conference, Ohadi said 47 children and two pregnant women were among the martialists. Thirty-two Iranian families endured multiple losses, and one family lost 12 members.
To promote identification, Ohadi has announced the establishment of a “DNA Diagnostic Centre” that will resolve cases within 24 hours, along with the newly launched Maraj Martyrs facility in Behesht-e Zahra Cemetery. Currently, 24 bodies remain unidentified there.
The foundation’s directors sparked a heart-wrenching story, with evidence that “such martyrs had no connection to nuclear facilities,” including two-month-old Rayan Gassemian and the martial arts of Behanabadi family, as evidence that their mother and three children had died.
On June 13, the Israeli regime launched an astonishing and provocative attack on Iran, killing numerous senior military commanders, nuclear scientists and civilians.
A week later, on June 22, the United States escalated its conflict with natural airstrikes at Iran’s nuclear facilities.
By June 24, Iran’s retaliation operations against both Israel and the United States had forced the halt of illegal attacks.
