ISTANBUL

The death toll from ongoing US-Israeli attacks on Iran has risen to 787, the Iranian Red Crescent said Tuesday.

Search and rescue operations are ongoing in the rubble of the bombed buildings, the organization said in a written statement cited by the state-run Tasnim News Agency.

No information was provided regarding the number of the injured.

The US and Israel continued a large-scale attack on Iran since Saturday, killing several top Iranian leaders, including Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and senior military officials.

In response, Tehran has retaliated with drone and missile strikes targeting Israel as well as Gulf countries which are home to US assets.
