Iran's Health Ministry said on Saturday that 50 people were killed and over 500 others injured in US strikes since June 27.
"Among those killed were 5 women and 2 children and teenagers under 18," Hossein Kermanpour, head of the Health Ministry’s Public Relations and Information Center, said through US social media company X.
Those wounded included 32 women, as well as 18 children and teenagers, Kermanpour added.
Tensions have heightened in the Middle East, where the US and Iran continue to exchange attacks.
Fragile truce
The military escalation comes despite a Pakistan-brokered memorandum of understanding signed in June to end the war and reach a lasting peace agreement.
The latest strikes mark a renewed escalation in the US-Israel war on Iran, which began on 28 February 2026 when Israeli and American forces launched coordinated strikes that killed Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and targeted the country's nuclear facilities, military infrastructure and leadership.
A ceasefire took hold on April 8 after 40 days of fighting, but tensions resurfaced in the following months.
Thr memorandum intended to end the war has since unravelled amid fresh US strikes and Iranian attacks on shipping in the Strait of Hormuz, raising fears of further escalation.
