One hundred Iranian athletes killed in 12-day Israeli aggression: Deputy minister
An Iranian official says at least 100 athletes were killed in the Israeli regime’s 12 days of aggression against the Islamic Republic.
Iran's deputy minister of sports and youths, Mohammad Shervin Asbaqian, on Monday updated the number of athletes killed during the aggression.
Earlier this month, Seyyed Ghani Nazari, an official with the ministry, had put the number at 68.
As many as 1,062 people were martyred during the war, according to the latest figure provided by the Iranian government spokeswoman Fatemeh Mohajerani.
On June 13, Israel launched a blatant and unprovoked act of aggression against Iran, assassinating many high-ranking military commanders, nuclear scientists, and ordinary civilians.
More than a week later, the United States also entered the war by bombing three Iranian nuclear sites in a grave violation of the United Nations Charter, international law, and the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT).
On June 24, Iran, through its successful retaliatory operations against both the Israeli regime and the US, managed to impose a halt to the illegal assault.
