Iran media claims heavy Israeli losses
Russian intel cited in unverified casualty report
IRNN, Iran’s state TV, cited Russian intelligence in an early assessment of casualties from the first three days of Iran’s missile strikes, alleging heavy Israeli losses. The report claims six senior generals, 32 Mossad agents, 78 Shin Bet agents, and 11 nuclear scientists were killed.
It also lists 198 air force officers, 462 soldiers, and 423 reservists among the fatalities. IRNN said these figures cover military, intelligence, and strategic personnel only, excluding civilian casualties, which weren’t detailed. Independent verification is lacking, and Israeli officials have not released matching numbers.
Analysts caution that early wartime casualty figures from involved parties or allied sources often vary widely and are difficult to confirm. The situation remains fluid as international observers and governments monitor developments; further confirmation and updates are expected as more sources report.
Independent verification of these claims has not yet been confirmed, and officials from Israel have not publicly released casualty figures that correspond to the numbers reported by IRNN.
