Donald Trump alleged during a news briefing on Friday that 32,000 people had been killed in the unrest in Iran, a figure far higher than previously reported. He did not provide any source for the claim.
In response, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi issued a message on his X account on Saturday, stressing that Tehran has already made public the official data.
“Fulfilling our pledge of full transparency towards our own people, Iran's Government has already published a comprehensive list of all 3,117 victims of recent terrorist operation, including about 200 officers. If anyone disputes accuracy of our data, please share any evidence,” Araqchi stated.
