Iranian media report 55 dead, 629 wounded in US strikes; new wave underway

Iranian media reported early Friday that the death toll from US strikes on Iran has reached 55, with 629 wounded, and that a new wave of American strikes is currently underway, according to the reports.

Iranian media reported early Friday (Jul 24) that the death toll from US strikes on Iran has risen to 55, with 629 wounded, and that a new wave of American strikes is currently underway. The report did not specify the locations or targets of the new wave. The updated figures exceed the previous toll of 53 dead and 592 wounded reported by the Iranian Health Ministry on Wednesday, July 22 at 15:28 Jerusalem.

The casualty count has been steadily climbing since the strikes began on June 27. On July 9, the Health Ministry reported 14 dead and 78 wounded across five provinces. By July 17, the toll had reached 38 dead and over 400 wounded. On July 18, the ministry said 50 were killed and over 500 wounded. On Wednesday, the ministry's initial statement cited 53 dead and 592 wounded, with a subsequent update to "nearly 600 wounded" before settling on the 592 figure.

The Zioneer has tracked the evolving casualty figures from Iranian sources throughout the campaign. Earlier background reports from The Zioneer dated to July 14, 17, and 18 documented the rising toll. The new report of 55 dead and 629 wounded, along with the onset of a fresh strike wave, marks the latest escalation.

It remains unclear what the new wave of strikes targets, and whether the reported casualties include both military and civilian deaths. The figures are from Iranian media and have not been independently verified. No information has been provided on the locations or timing of the new strikes.
