"224 Iranian citizens were martyred and more than a thousand others were injured as a result of the attacks launched by the Israeli entity on sites inside the country during the past three days," the semi-official Mehr News Agency quoted the ministry as saying.
Hossein Kermanpour, a spokesman for the ministry, said the total number of dead and wounded had reached 1,481.
Among the casualties, 1,277 were taken to university hospitals for treatment, while the wounded were discharged after receiving medical care.
More than 90% of the injuries occurred among civilians, including women and children, Kermanpour said in a social media post.
The casualties follow escalating tensions after Israel launched strikes Friday on Iranian nuclear and missile facilities that killed military commanders and scientists, prompting Iran to retaliate with ballistic missiles and drones against Israeli targets.

Israeli assaults kill 80, wound hundreds in Gaza since morning
ALBAWABA- At least 80 Palestinians have been killed and 363 injured in Israeli military operations across Gaza since dawn today, according to the Gaza Health Ministry. Hospital sources report that 78 of the deaths resulted from Israeli attacks in various parts of the Strip, with Al-Awda Hospital confirming three fatalities from a drone strike west of the Nuseirat camp in central Gaza. The Health Ministry also reported a rising toll among civilians waiting for humanitarian assistance, with 224 now confirmed dead and 1,858 injured while seeking aid. Amid the growing humanitarian catastrophe, the UN agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA) issued a sharp rebuke of the Israeli-American aid delivery model in Gaza, calling it dangerous, ineffective, and a distraction from ongoing atrocities. 'This model wastes resources and does not address the core issue: Israel must lift the blockade and allow us safe and unrestricted access to deliver life-saving assistance,' a UNRWA statement read. Meanwhile, Israel's public broadcaster reported that four Israeli soldiers were wounded in two separate incidents in Khan Yunis. One attack involved an armed Palestinian cell firing a rocket at a tank, injuring two soldiers from the 74th Armored Battalion. International diplomatic tensions are also intensifying. The U.S. reportedly sent a confidential cable discouraging allies from participating in a UN conference on a two-state solution, expressing opposition to any unilateral recognition of a Palestinian state. The memo, cited by Reuters, warned that actions viewed as hostile to Israel could be seen as contrary to U.S. interests and might carry consequences. The United Nations continues to face Israeli resistance in accessing fuel reserves in Rafah, crucial for humanitarian operations. WHO Director-General Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus added that over 10,000 critically ill patients in Gaza still require urgent medical evacuation and called for immediate approval of all crossing points to facilitate transfers.
