A range of estimates from Iranian officials and monitoring groups puts Iranian military and security losses since the start of the war at 1,225 to 6,624 killed, with Iran officially reporting 3,375 total deaths. The groups HRANA and Hengaw, both critical of the government, report 1,225 and 6,624 military personnel killed respectively. U.S. military losses stand at 18 killed and over 500 wounded, according to Reuters.
A new compilation of casualty figures from multiple sources provides a broad estimate of Iranian military losses since the war began. Iran's official count stands at 3,375 total deaths, without a military-civilian breakdown. The human rights groups HRANA and Hengaw, both critical of the Tehran government, report 1,225 and 6,624 military personnel killed respectively, though their figures may be skewed by political bias.
U.S. military losses, according to Reuters, are 18 killed and over 500 wounded. This aligns with earlier reports from a U.S. official who told the Associated Press that more than 500 servicemembers had been wounded, exceeding the Pentagon's official tally.
The update follows the Iranian Health Ministry's Friday report of 55 dead and 629 wounded in U.S. strikes since June 27, which covered all casualties. The current figures focus specifically on military and security personnel, highlighting the wide discrepancy in estimates depending on the source.
