The Iranian Red Crescent has confirmed that the death toll from U.S. and Israeli airstrikes on Iran since Saturday has risen to 555.
The joint strikes targeted 131 residential areas, the Red Crescent said in a statement cited by the Fars News Agency, though it did not provide updated figures for the injured.
The previous report on Saturday recorded 201 dead and 747 injured.
The attacks reportedly killed several senior Iranian officials, including Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
In response, Iran has launched drone and missile strikes against Israel, U.S. assets, and Gulf countries.
Iran’s Foreign Minister, Seyed Abbas Araghchi, condemned the strikes in a letter to UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres and the Security Council, describing the assassination attempt on Khamenei as a “cowardly terrorist action” and a violation of international law.
Araghchi said the attacks were “aggressive, unprovoked, and unjustified” and warned they could set a dangerous precedent undermining state sovereignty and global norms.
He stressed that Iran reserves the right to defend its territory, sovereignty, and citizens under the UN Charter.
