DUBAI, June 30 (Reuters) - Some 935 people were killed in Iran during the 12-day air war with Israel, based on the latest forensic data, a spokesperson for the Iranian judiciary said on Monday, according to state media.

Among the dead were 38 children and 132 women, the spokesperson, Asghar Jahangir, said.

The death toll was a sharp increase from a previous Iranian health ministry tally of 610 killed in Iran before a ceasefire went into effect on Tuesday last week.

Jahangir also revised the number of people killed in an Israeli strike on Tehran's Evin Prison to 79, up from 71.

And rightly so.

The cost of war, any war, needs to be measured.

We have the names of the 28 innocent Israeli victims of a war their government started.

We will never know the names of the hundreds of innocent Iranian victims, but let's at least acknowlwdge their existence.

I have (relatively) more confidence in reports about Israeli casualties.

Would you expect Iran to say that few(er) civilians died? This is a propaganda war.

I don't automatically assume Iran is lying.

And -lol- I don't ever assume Israel is telling the truth.

I mean, other than the fact that it's easier to count a dozen casualties than it is to count 1,000, of course.

What makes you imagine that Netanyahu's extremist regime can be trusted?

No. But there are (relatively) more avenues available to debunk Israel's reports than Iran's.

And it's worth nothing that organizations that contradict Netanyahu's propaganda are attacked (here and elsewhere) as pro-Hamas and antisemitic.
