Death toll in Iran reaches 1,054 as Israel ceasefire takes effect, rights group says

The death toll in Iran from Israeli military strikes has risen to 1,054, with 4,476 others injured, the US-based Human Rights Activists News Agency (HRANA) said on Tuesday.

Of those killed, 417 were civilians, and around 2,000 of the wounded were non-combatants, according to HRANA. A ceasefire between Iran and Israel took effect earlier in the day and remains in place.

Since the start of the conflict, at least 823 people in Iran have been arrested on political or security-related charges, the human rights group added.
