Iran reports 60 fatalities from alleged US strikes in southern provinces

Iran's Ministry of Health claims 60 deaths and 670 injuries resulting from alleged US military strikes in southern Iran over the past 12 days. The report, disseminated via state-aligned media, lacks independent verification and contradicts the current official US posture of non-engagement in direct kinetic conflict with Iranian territory. The discrepancy between the reported scale of casualties and the absence of international confirmation suggests a high risk of disinformation or significant escalation.
