In this message, Araghchi wrote that in response to J.D.

Araqchi also announced the number of human casualties and the total number of deaths at 3,117, including 2,427 civilians and security forces, and 690 terrorists.
The Iranian Foreign Minister emphasized that these statistics indicate the catastrophic and organized dimensions of recent terrorist operations, adding that such actions have not only targeted national security but have also destroyed the daily lives of ordinary people, public infrastructure, and religious and educational places.
This message was released at a time when verbal tensions between Iranian and American officials have increased in recent days, with both sides accusing each other of supporting unrest and violent acts
