Dozens of people have been killed across the Middle East since February 28, when the US and Israel attacked Iran, and the Gulf states that host US military bases, as well as Lebanon, were soon involved in the conflict.

Reuters has reported the toll so far of the casualties reported in each of the countries involved from February 28 to March 9, more than a week after the start of the war.

IRAN – At least 1,230 people have been killed, including 175 students and academic staff who were killed in a rocket attack on a primary school in Minab, in the south of the country, on the first day of the war, according to the Iranian Red Crescent Society. It is not clear whether this toll includes military casualties from the Revolutionary Guard.

These casualties are not included in the Red Crescent’s toll.
