US strikes killed 14 and injured 78, Iran's Health Ministry reported. 47 remain hospitalized.

Iran’s Health Ministry said on Thursday that US strikes over the past two days have killed 14 people and injured 78 others.

Hossein Kermanpour, the ministry’s head of public relations, said in a post on X, “Of the injured, 47 are still hospitalised and the rest have been discharged after receiving medical care."

Three of the victims were killed in a strike near the southwestern city of Ahvaz, according to Iran’s state news agency IRNA, which cited Valiollah Hayati, Khuzestan province’s deputy governor for security affairs.

The latest death toll comes as fighting between the US and Iran intensifies after last month’s fragile ceasefire broke down.

The latest escalation followed US accusations that Iran had attacked three commercial vessels passing through the Strait of Hormuz, after which Washington launched multiple rounds of strikes on military targets along Iran’s southern coastline.
