Iran's military death toll from US strikes has reached at least 13, including three pilots, following a series of attacks on September 1. The Iranian Tasnim news agency reported that six naval personnel were among the casualties, with the strikes marking the most extensive bombardment in weeks.2

In Khuzestan, seven were killed, while four members of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) died in Kermanshah. Additionally, three paramilitaries were killed on Lavan Island, and another in Fars province.
