Iran death toll from US-Israel strikes rises to 787, state media reports

Airstrikes carried out by the United States and Israel have resulted in at least 787 fatalities in Iran since the war began, according to the Iranian Red Crescent Society, which reported the number on Tuesday via a message on X. This is a breaking news update. Below is an earlier report from the Associated Press. Iran launched a drone attack on the U.S. Embassy in Saudi Arabia's capital early Tuesday, continuing its strikes on various targets in the region. Meanwhile, the U.S. and Israel intensified their airstrikes on Iran, with U.S. President Donald Trump indicating that this could be the beginning of a sustained military campaign lasting over a month. The drone strike on the U.S. Embassy in Riyadh led to a "limited fire" and caused minor damage, as reported by Saudi Arabia’s Defense Ministry. The embassy has advised Americans to stay away from the area. This attack followed a prior incident where the U.S. Embassy in Kuwait announced it would remain closed until further notice. The U.S. State Department has also ordered the evacuation of non-emergency staff and their families from Kuwait, Bahrain, Iraq, Qatar, Jordan, and the United Arab Emirates as a safety measure. Throughout the night in Iran's capital, explosions were heard, and witnesses reported seeing aircraft flying overhead. It was unclear what specific targets were struck. In Lebanon, Israel conducted more airstrikes against Hezbollah, the militia group supported by Iran. Loud explosions were heard, and smoke was visible in a southern suburb of Beirut. Israel confirmed that its troops are "operating in southern Lebanon." The Lebanese state-run National News Agency reported that the army was moving some of its units away from the border.
