“Thus, the overall death toll stands at 3,375 people, including more than 2,800 men and around 500 women.”
VERIFIED BY REFERENCE
The evidence provided for this claim only contains generic Wikipedia entries about the number '500' (e.g., S&P 500, 500 BC) and does not contain any information corroborating the specific death toll of 3,375 people, or the breakdown of men and women, related to US-Israeli attacks on Iran. Therefore, the evidence is insufficient to verify the claim.
