Ministry spokesman Hossein Kermanpour stated in a post on the X platform that several injured remain hospitalized, while 460 have been discharged after completing their treatment.

The day before, the official had reported 38 deaths and more than 400 injuries, figures that increased after the updated tally.

The United States has been carrying out successive waves of attacks against targets on Iranian territory for several days, while Tehran is responding by targeting ships, facilities, and bases that it identifies as US military positions in several countries in the region.

Washington and Tehran signed a memorandum of understanding on June 18 that stipulated a cessation of military operations and the start of negotiations to reach a broader agreement.

However, US President Donald Trump announced the end of the interim agreement on July 8 following attacks on three ships in the Strait of Hormuz.

Washington then resumed its bombing campaign against Iran, amid an escalation of Iranian retaliation in the region.

The United States is demanding guarantees for the freedom and safety of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz, while Tehran insists on establishing a mechanism to regulate the transit of vessels through this strategic waterway.

The tension has increased fears about potential disruptions to regional oil and gas exports.
