At least 3,461 people have been killed in Iran by U.S.-Israeli strikes since the war began on Feb. 28, the U.S.-based Human Rights Activists News Agency (HRANA) reported on Saturday.

The reported toll includes 1,551 civilians and 1,208 military personnel, while the status of 702 victims remains undetermined. According to HRANA, 236 of the victims were children.

ABC News cannot independently verify HRANA’s data. However, HRANA has been reliable in counting deaths during previous rounds of unrest in Iran. HRANA says their data is collected from a combination of field reports, local contacts, medical and emergency sources, civil society networks and open-source materials — including publicly available images, videos and official statements.

Official Iranian government channels have not been providing regular or comprehensive casualty figures from the current conflict. But the Iranian Health Ministry said on Saturday that 244 women and 231 children have been killed in the war so far, in a statement carried by the Islamic Republic News Agency.

President Donald Trump announced “major combat operations” against Iran on Feb. 28, with massive joint U.S.-Israeli strikes attack targeting military and government sites, officials said.

Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was among those killed in Tehran on the first day of strikes, with his son Mojtaba Khamenei later chosen to succeed him. Iran has responded with missile and drone attacks targeting Israel, regional U.S. bases and multiple Gulf nations. Iran is also attempting to block some shipping traffic through the Strait of Hormuz.

Israel is also intensifying its long-running strike campaign against the Iran-backed Hezbollah militia in Lebanon and expanding its ground operations in the south of the country.

The Israel Defense Forces said in a post to X on Monday that it had launched “a widespread wave of attacks” against Iranian government infrastructure in the capital Tehran.

Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain and Kuwait all reported fresh Iranian attacks on Monday.

The UAE Defense Ministry said in a post to X that its forces intercepted an unspecified number of Iranian missiles and drones. In Abu Dhabi — one of the country’s seven constituent emirates — the official government media office said one Indian national was injured by “debris falling in the Al Shawamekh area following the successful interception of a ballistic missile.”

The Saudi Arabian Defense Ministry said its forces intercepted several Iranian drones over the country’s eastern region on Monday. Iran also fired two ballistic missiles toward the Riyadh region, the ministry said, one of which was intercepted and the other of which fell in an uninhabited area.

Bahrain’s Defence Force said in a post to X on Monday morning that it had intercepted another 32 Iranian drones and two ballistic missiles.

In Kuwait, the Defense Ministry said in a post to X in the early hours of Monday that air defenses were responding to “hostile missile and drone attacks.”

President Donald Trump said Monday he had instructed the Pentagon “to postpone any and all military strikes against Iranian power plants and energy infrastructure for a five day period, subject to the success of the ongoing meetings and discussions.”

Trump said Washington and Tehran “have had, over the last two days, very good and productive conversations regarding a complete and total resolution of our hostilities in the Middle East.”

The president had threatened to strike Iranian power plants on Saturday unless Tehran ended its efforts to block commercial shipping from transiting the strategic Strait of Hormuz within 48 hours. That deadline was set to expire on Monday evening.

Trump said Monday that U.S.-Iran talks would “continue throughout the week.”
