A US-based rights watchdog says at least 585 people have been killed in Iran as a result of Israeli strikes, with more than 1,300 others wounded.

Human Rights Activists, a group based in Washington, DC, reported that among the dead are 239 civilians and 126 members of Iran’s security forces.

Tehran has not provided frequent updates on casualties. Its most recent figures, released on Monday, listed 224 dead and 1,277 injured.

The group, which became prominent for documenting the 2022 protests sparked by the death of Mahsa Amini, said it compiles its data by verifying local reports with its network of sources across Iran.
