Iran Health Ministry: US strikes have killed at least 50 and wounded more than 500 since 6 July

Iran's Health Ministry said on Saturday, 18 July 2026, that US attacks on the country since 6 July have killed at least 50 people and wounded more than 500. According to the figures, the dead include 5 women and 2 children under the age of 18, while the wounded include 32 women and 18 children.

The count is up from the ministry's earlier tally of 35 killed and 300 wounded. The figures were released hours after CENTCOM's seventh consecutive night of airstrikes on targets in Iran, which the command said struck surveillance sites, military logistics infrastructure, underground weapons storage and maritime capabilities.
