Iran has raised the official death toll for its war with Israel, with official media reporting 935 people have been killed in the country during the 12-day conflict.

The state-run IRNA news agency did not give a breakdown between military and civilian casualties, but said on Monday of the 935 people, 38 were children and 132 were women.
