Thousands of people have been killed across the Middle East in the Iran war, which began when the U.S. and Israel struck Iran on February 28, triggering Iranian attacks on Israel, U.S. bases and Gulf states, while also opening a new front in Lebanon.
Here are the latest death tolls reported, which Reuters has not independently verified.
IRAN
U.S.-based rights group HRANA said 3,461 people have been killed since the war erupted. It said 1,551 of those were civilians, including at least 236 children.
The group says its data comes from field reports, local contacts, medical and emergency sources, civil society networks, open-source materials and official statements.
At least 1,900 people have been killed and 20,000 injured in Iran in the U.S.-Israeli strikes so far, the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies said on Friday
It was not clear if those figures included at least 104 people who the Iranian military said were killed in a U.S. attack on an Iranian warship off Sri Lanka on March 4.
LEBANON
Lebanese authorities say 1,189 people have been killed in Israeli strikes since March 2, including at least 124 children.
More than 400 fighters from Hezbollah have been killed since the Lebanese armed group launched attacks in a new war with Israel on March 2, two sources familiar with the group’s count told Reuters. It is unclear if the death toll reported by the authorities includes the number of fighters.
IRAQ
At least 100 people have been killed since the start of the crisis, according to Iraqi health authorities. Those include civilians, members of the Iran-affiliated Shi’ite Popular Mobilisation Forces, U.S.-allied Kurdish Peshmerga fighters, and army soldiers.
One foreign crew member was killed in an attack on tankers near an Iraqi port, according to port security officials.
ISRAEL
Missiles launched from Iran and Lebanon towards Israel have killed 19 people in Israel, according to Israel’s ambulance service. The Israeli military said four of its soldiers were also killed in southern Lebanon.
Separately, Israeli forces misfired and killed an Israeli farmer near the border with Lebanon on March 22.
UNITED STATES
Thirteen service members have been killed. Six were confirmed dead after a U.S. military refuelling aircraft crashed over Iraq, the U.S. military said, while seven others have been killed in action during operations against Iran.
Twelve U.S. troops were wounded, two of them seriously, in an Iranian military strike on Prince Sultan Air Base in Saudi Arabia, a U.S. official told Reuters on Friday.
UNITED ARAB EMIRATES
Ten people have been killed in Iranian attacks, including two army soldiers, according to the UAE authorities.
QATAR
Seven people were killed on March 22 in a deadly helicopter crash in Qatar’s territorial waters after a technical malfunction during “routine duty,” according to Qatar’s defence ministry. No further details were provided.
Four of those killed were Qatari armed forces personnel, one a Turkish serviceman from the Qatar-Turkey joint forces and two were technicians working for Turkey’s defence giant ASELSAN.
KUWAIT
Authorities have reported six deaths, including two people killed in Iranian attacks, two interior ministry officers and two army soldiers.
WEST BANK

The UAE’s defence ministry said on March 24 that one of its civilian contractors was killed in an Iranian attack on Bahrain. It identified the contractor as a Moroccan national.
OMAN
Two people were reported killed on March 13 in a drone strike on an industrial zone in Sohar province, marking the first fatalities inside the country, which had been hosting mediation talks between the U.S. and Iran. One person died earlier when a projectile hit a tanker off the coast of Muscat, the vessel’s manager said.
