935 people killed in Israeli strikes on Iran, official says, Asia News
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.
Israel launched the air war on June 13, attacking Iranian nuclear facilities and killing top military commanders as well as civilians in the worst blow to the Islamic Republic since the 1980s war with Iraq.
Iran retaliated with barrages of missiles on Israeli military sites, infrastructure and cities. The United States entered the war on June 22 with strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities.
Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei said Israel's "act of aggression had led to many war crimes". He said Iran would transfer evidence to international organisations which he said should hold Israel to account.
"The Zionist regime's (Israel) action was done without any reason or justification, therefore we do not believe in separating military and civilian (victims)," Baghaei told reporters at a regular press briefing.
He said any "martyr or destroyed building is an example of war crimes."

Trump to discuss Gaza, Iran with Netanyahu at July 7 meeting
US President Donald Trump (right) will welcome Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu (left) to the White House on July 7. PHOTO: REUTER WASHINGTON - US President Donald Trump said on July 1 he will discuss the situations in Gaza and Iran when he meets Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the White House next week, adding that he hopes to achieve a ceasefire in Gaza soon. Mr Trump plans to meet Mr Netanyahu on July 7. A senior Israeli official, Mr Ron Dermer, has been in Washington this week holding talks ahead of the meeting. Mr Trump and Mr Netanyahu worked together on a military operation against Iran's nuclear sites in June that culminated with American B-2 bombing raids. Mr Trump said the strikes 'obliterated' Tehran's nuclear capability, although there remains a debate about the degree of damage done to the Iranian nuclear programme. Mr Trump said he is hopeful that a ceasefire-for-hostages agreement can be achieved next week between Israel and Iran-backed Hamas militants in Gaza. 'We hope it's going to happen. And we're looking forward to it happening sometime next week,' he told reporters as he departed the White House for a day trip to Florida. 'We want to get the hostages out.' Hamas has said it is willing to free remaining hostages in Gaza under any deal to end the war, while Israel says it can only end if Hamas is disarmed and dismantled. Hamas refuses to lay down its arms. The war in Gaza was triggered when Hamas-led militants attacked Israel on Oct 7, 2023, killing 1,200 people and taking 251 hostages, according to Israeli tallies. Gaza's health ministry says Israel's post-Oct 7 military assault has killed over 56,000 Palestinians. The assault has also caused a hunger crisis, internally displaced Gaza's entire population and prompted accusations of genocide at the International Court of Justice and of war crimes at the International Criminal Court. Israel denies the accusations. A White House official, asked about Mr Dermer's scheduled meetings and agenda, said: 'Ron Dermer visits the White House regularly.' 'This will continue as President Trump pursues a path to peace for Israel and Gaza,' the official added. The official did not immediately identify the Trump aides Mr Dermer would see during his visit. REUTERS Join ST's Telegram channel and get the latest breaking news delivered to you.

Iran shuts out nuclear monitors in tactics that recall Cold War
Policymakers on both sides of the conflict are reacquainting themselves with so-called strategic ambiguity. PHOTO: NYTIMES Iran is keeping its nuclear ambitions more closely guarded than ever after attacks by Israel and the US in June , introducing additional ambiguity to the Islamic Republic's diplomatic showdown with Washington. After formally cutting off International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) inspections last week, Iranian nuclear-safety regulators have stopped taking calls from the United Nations watchdog, according to two officials who asked not to be identified discussing sensitive information. The IAEA's Incident and Emergency Centre was activated June 13 and had been in continuous contact with counterparts in Iran, but that information sharing has tailed off, they said. The communication blackout underscores the degree to which Iran is using silence as a way to obscure international understanding over the status of its nuclear program. Tehran had previously allowed an average of more than one IAEA inspection a day and took part in five rounds of talks with the US about a deal to curb its atomic activities, but the Israeli assault has changed the equation. US President Donald Trump has repeatedly said Iran's nuclear facilities have been 'obliterated' by 12 days of airstrikes, which – if true – would render the conversation moot. Yet the view of the IAEA is that, while sites at Natanz and Fordow have suffered some damage, uranium-enrichment activity could resume in a 'matter of months', director-general Rafael Mariano Grossi told CBS News over the weekend. The whereabouts of Iran's 409kg inventory of near-bomb-grade uranium is also unknown. Given the fuel can be stored in 16 cylinders each the size of a large scuba-diving tank, there is at least a possibility it has been transported to an undeclared location. With no near-term resumption of IAEA monitoring in prospect, policymakers on both sides of the conflict are reacquainting themselves with so-called strategic ambiguity – a key element to nuclear brinkmanship during the Cold War. By introducing a level of uncertainty about their intentions, goes the theory developed by Nobel Laureate Thomas Schelling among others, adversaries may be able to prevent a slide into total war. 'It remains to be seen if Iran dashes for a bomb or not, but what is clear is that the US strikes will drive the programme further underground,' said Dr Dina Esfandiary, who covers the Middle East for Bloomberg Economics. 'Iran is learning that strategic ambiguity will be its best option.' Next phase The situation raises questions about the next phase of the US and Israeli mission to curb Iran's ability to build a nuclear weapon, an aim the Islamic Republic has repeatedly denied. Mr Trump offered an olive branch to Iran on J une 29 , suggesting in an interview with Fox News he could offer the country relief from stringent economic sanctions in return for assurances of peace. That jarred – at least in tone – with comments posted by Mr Trump on Truth Social two days earlier, where he responded furiously to claims of victory by Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and said he had 'dropped all work on sanction relief' as a result. Iran's government, meanwhile, said it remains skeptical its US-brokered ceasefire with Israel will last, adding it would respond to any new attacks. Regarding the prospect of fresh talks with the US, a government spokeswoman said on July 1 that 'no decision has been made'. To help deter against a renewed assault, Iran could use uncertainty over the whereabouts of its highly enriched uranium to try to dictate events. For the US and Israel to gain knowledge of the state and location of the stockpile, physical inspections and verification will need to be carried out, most likely via negotiated access for the IAEA. The other option for Israel and the US would be a return to military action – a far from straightforward equation. For Israel, the cost of the 12-day war may have been as high as US$12 billion (S$15 billion) , Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich said last week, while domestic damages of about US$3 billion would be the most for any conflict in Israel's history. In the US, direct military involvement has split key elements of the Republican Party and could carry political costs for the Trump administration. For now, Iran is reinforcing the ambiguity. The country's Guardian Council last week approved a law suspending cooperation with the IAEA, but this is viewed as primarily a symbolic act. It is unclear how much work IAEA monitors could do even if they had access, given the risk of chemical and radiological contamination at bombed nuclear installations. For Iran to permanently bar IAEA inspectors, it would need to exit the international Non-Proliferation Treaty – which aims to prevent the spread of nuclear weapons – a move that would potentially end monitoring altogether. While such a move could yield even more diplomatic leverage for Iran, it would also carry new risks, according to Ms Darya Dolzikova, a senior research fellow at the Royal United Services Institute, a London-based think tank. 'Ambiguity is not cost free,' she said. 'In the absence of verification, Iran will have lost the ability to send credible signals about its nuclear programme. It can still formulate a narrative, but one with lower credibility.' BLOOMBERG Join ST's Telegram channel and get the latest breaking news delivered to you.

Lebanon drafts reply to US demand for Hezbollah to disarm, sources say
FILE PHOTO: U.S. Ambassador to Turkey and U.S. special envoy for Syria Thomas Barrack arrives to meet with Lebanese Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri in Beirut, Lebanon June 19, 2025. REUTERS/Mohamed Azakir/File Photo Lebanon drafts reply to US demand for Hezbollah to disarm, sources say BEIRUT - Lebanese officials were drafting a response on Tuesday to U.S. demands for armed group Hezbollah to relinquish its weapons across the country by November in exchange for a halt to Israeli military operations, two sources briefed on the matter said. The deadline has turned up the heat on Iran-backed Hezbollah, which was struck hard by Israel during last year's war, is suffering a financial crunch and faces pressure in Lebanon to disarm. Washington's demands were conveyed by Thomas Barrack, U.S. special envoy to Syria and ambassador to Turkey, during a trip to Beirut on June 19. The sources, speaking on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the matter, told Reuters Barrack had shared a written roadmap with Lebanese officials and told them he expected to hear back by July 1 on any proposed amendments. The six-page document centers on the disarmament of Hezbollah and other militant groups, and urges Lebanon to improve ties with neighbouring Syria and implement financial reforms, they said. It proposes a phased approach to disarmament, in which Hezbollah would hand in its arms throughout Lebanon in exchange for the withdrawal of Israeli troops occupying areas in south Lebanon, the sources said. Barrack said full disarmament should be completed by November or by the end of the year at the latest, they said. Disarmament would end Israeli strikes targeting Hezbollah members and unlock funds to rebuild parts of Lebanon destroyed by Israeli forces last year, they said. The U.S. has said Washington will not support reconstruction in Lebanon without Hezbollah laying down arms. The proposal also refers to establishing a mechanism overseen by the United Nations to secure the release of Hezbollah-linked prisoners by Israel, the sources said. They said Barrack had urged Lebanese officials to seize the opportunity laid out in the roadmap as it "may not come up again." He is set to return to Lebanon next week. Barrack had not yet gotten Israeli approval for the roadmap, the sources said. There was no immediate response from the U.S. state department, Israel's prime minister's office or Israel's foreign ministry to Reuters requests for comment. 'THE RIGHT TO SAY NO' Lebanon has appointed a committee to formulate a preliminary response, comprised of delegates from the offices of Prime Minister Nawaf Salam, President Joseph Aoun and Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri, a Hezbollah ally, the sources said. It was not clear whether the initial reply would be ready by Tuesday. The U.S. proposal includes a condition that the final deal be sealed with a unanimous decision by Lebanon's government, the sources said. The second source, and a third source briefed on the matter, said Berri was in close communication with Hezbollah to secure the group's input. "Hezbollah has not refused to cooperate with the committee and in fact began sending signals of cooperation - but has not committed to disarming," the third source said. The prospect of securing Hezbollah's disarmament - unimaginable two years ago - underlines the big shifts in the Middle East power balance to the detriment of Iran's allies across the region since the start of the war between Israel and Hezbollah ally Hamas in October 2023. Some of Hezbollah's arsenal was destroyed by Israeli airstrikes, and other depots in southern Lebanon were handed over to Lebanon's army in accordance with the U.S.-brokered ceasefire that ended that round of conflict. That deal called for the disarmament of armed groups across Lebanon. Hezbollah has said it applies only to the group in Lebanon's southernmost districts. Hezbollah has not commented publicly on Barrack's proposal. But in a televised address on Monday, its secretary general, Naim Qassem, reiterated Hezbollah's resistance to U.S. and Israeli pressure and urged other Lebanese to do the same. "We have the right to say 'no' to them, 'no' to America, 'no' to Israel," Qassem said. "We call on you in Lebanon: do not help Israel and America with their plans." Qassem said the U.S. and Israel "want to exploit the moment to turn the equation in the entire region in their image."
