Scores of people have been killed across the Middle East ​since the U.S. and Israel attacked Iran on ​February 28, with Gulf states that host U.S. military bases and personnel as well ​as Lebanon quickly drawn into the conflict.

Here are the death tolls from the war as reported by countries as of March 9, more than a week after it began. Reuters has not independently verified these deaths.

IRAN

At least 1,230 people have been ‌killed, including 175 schoolgirls ⁠and staff ⁠killed in a missile strike on a primary school in Minab in the country's south on the war's first day, according to the non-profit humanitarian group Iranian Red Crescent Society. It was unclear if the overall death toll included Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps military casualties. The Iranian army has said that at least 104 people were killed after a U.S. submarine sank an Iranian warship off Sri Lanka's coast last week. Those deaths were not included in the toll given by the Red Crescent.

At least 486 people have been killed in Israeli strikes, according to ⁠Lebanon's health ‌ministry.
