<p>DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Dozens of staff members, two inmates and a bystander were the casualties of Israel’s <a href="https://apnews.com/video/israeli-military-spokesman-on-latest-strikes-on-irans-fordo-nuclear-site-and-evin-prison-fcf275eb498d4a44b88080e48395414a" role="link" class=" js-entry-link cet-external-link" data-vars-item-name="attack last week on Tehran’s Evin prison" data-vars-item-type="text" data-vars-unit-name="68617791e4b08e0b4a74010d" data-vars-unit-type="buzz_body" data-vars-target-content-id="https://apnews.com/video/israeli-military-spokesman-on-latest-strikes-on-irans-fordo-nuclear-site-and-evin-prison-fcf275eb498d4a44b88080e48395414a" data-vars-target-content-type="url" data-vars-type="web_external_link" data-vars-subunit-name="article_body" data-vars-subunit-type="component" data-vars-position-in-subunit="0">attack last week on Tehran’s Evin prison</a>, a notorious facility where many political prisoners and dissidents have been held.</p>
</div>
<div class="primary-cli cli cli-text ">
<p>The death toll of the strike was released Sunday by Iran’s judiciary and confirmed by human rights groups as the one-week mark of the ceasefire between Israel and Iran approaches, despite suspicions from both sides of whether the truce will hold.</p>
</div>
<div class="primary-cli cli cli-text ">
<p>Judiciary spokesperson Asghar Jahangir posted on the office’s official Mizan news agency website that at least 71 people were killed on Monday, including staff, soldiers, prisoners and members of visiting families.</p>
</div>
<div class="primary-cli cli cli-text ">
<p>While officials did not provide a breakdown of the casualty figures, the Washington-based Human Rights Activists in Iran said that at least 35 were staff members and two were inmates. Others killed included a person walking in the prison vicinity and a woman who went to meet a judge about her imprisoned husband’s case, the organization said.</p>
</div>
<div class="primary-cli cli cli-text ">
<p>The June 23 attack, the day before the ceasefire between Israel and Iran took hold, hit several prison buildings and prompted concerns from rights groups about the safety of the inmates.</p>
</div>
<div class="primary-cli cli cli-text ">
<p>It remains unclear why Israel targeted the prison, but it came on a day when the Defense Ministry said it was attacking “regime targets and government repression bodies in the heart of Tehran.”</p>
</div>
<div class="primary-cli cli cli-text ">
<p>The news of the prison attack was quickly overshadowed by an Iranian attack on a U.S. base in Qatar later that same day, which caused no casualties, and <a href="https://apnews.com/live/iran-israel-war-updates-6-23-2025" role="link" class=" js-entry-link cet-external-link" data-vars-item-name="the announcement of the ceasefire" data-vars-item-type="text" data-vars-unit-name="68617791e4b08e0b4a74010d" data-vars-unit-type="buzz_body" data-vars-target-content-id="https://apnews.com/live/iran-israel-war-updates-6-23-2025" data-vars-target-content-type="url" data-vars-type="web_external_link" data-vars-subunit-name="article_body" data-vars-subunit-type="component" data-vars-position-in-subunit="1">the announcement of the ceasefire</a>.</p>
</div>
<div class="primary-cli cli cli-text ">
<p>On the day of the attack, the New York-based Center for Human Rights in Iran criticized Israel for striking the prison, seen as a symbol of the Iranian regime’s repression of any opposition, saying it violated the principle of distinction between civilian and military targets.</p>

More than 1,000 people were killed, including at least 417 of them civilians, according to the Washington-based Human Rights Activists group.</p>
</div>
<div class="primary-cli cli cli-text ">
<p>In retaliation, Iran fired more than 550 ballistic missiles at Israel, most of which were intercepted, but those that got through caused damage in many areas and killed 28 people.</p>
</div>
<div class="primary-cli cli cli-text ">
<p>Abbas Araghchi, Iran’s foreign minister, said in a Saturday letter to United Nations officials that the international body should recognize Israel and the U.S. “as the initiators of the act of aggression” against Iran over the war and that their targeting of sovereign country and its people should require “compensation and reparation.”</p>
</div>
<div class="primary-cli cli cli-text ">
<p>“The Security Council should also hold the aggressors accountable and prevent the recurrence of such heinous and serious crimes to enable it to maintain international peace and security,” Araghchi said in the letter obtained by The Associated Press.</p>
</div>
<div class="primary-cli cli cli-text ">
<p>At the same time, advocates have said that Iran was legally obligated to protect the prisoners held in Evin, and slammed authorities in Tehran for their “failure to evacuate, provide medical assistance or inform families” following the attack.</p>
</div>
<div class="primary-cli cli cli-text ">
<p>Jahangir said some of the injured were treated on-site, while others were taken to hospitals.</p>
</div>
<div class="primary-cli cli cli-text ">
<p>Iran had not previously announced any death figures, though on Saturday, it confirmed that top prosecutor Ali Ghanaatkar — whose prosecution of dissidents, including Nobel Peace Prize winner Narges Mohammadi, led to widespread criticism by human rights groups — had been killed in the attack.</p>
</div>
<div class="primary-cli cli cli-text ">
<p>He was one of about 60 people for whom a massive public funeral procession was held on Saturday in Tehran, and he was to be buried at a shrine in Qom on Sunday.</p>

<p><h3><strong>Iran worries whether the ceasefire will hold</strong></h3>
</p>
<div class="primary-cli cli cli-text ">
<p>While both Israel and Iran have been adhering to the truce, Iranian officials raised suspicions Sunday about whether the other side would continue to keep its word.</p>
</div>
<div class="primary-cli cli cli-text ">
<p>Abdolrahim Mousavi, the chief of staff for Iran’s armed forces, said in a conversation with Saudi Arabia’s defense minister that the country is prepared if there were to be another surprise Israeli attack.</p>
</div>
<div class="primary-cli cli cli-text ">
<p>“We did not initiate the war, but we responded to the aggressor with all our might, and since we have complete doubts about the enemy’s adherence to its commitments, including the ceasefire, we are prepared to give them a strong response if they repeat the aggression,” Mousavi said, according to Iranian state TV agency IRNA.</p>

<p><h3><strong>It’s unclear how much damage was done to the nuclear program</strong></h3>
</p>
<div class="primary-cli cli cli-text ">
<p>Meanwhile, a lot remained unclear about the status of Iran’s nuclear program, which incited the initial Israeli attack. U.S. President <a href="https://www.huffpost.com/news/topic/donald-trump">Donald Trump</a> says American strikes “obliterated” the program while Iranians say that he’s exaggerating.</p>
</div>
<div class="primary-cli cli cli-text ">
<p><a href="https://apnews.com/hub/rafael-grossi" role="link" class=" js-entry-link cet-external-link" data-vars-item-name="Rafael Grossi" data-vars-item-type="text" data-vars-unit-name="68617791e4b08e0b4a74010d" data-vars-unit-type="buzz_body" data-vars-target-content-id="https://apnews.com/hub/rafael-grossi" data-vars-target-content-type="url" data-vars-type="web_external_link" data-vars-subunit-name="article_body" data-vars-subunit-type="component" data-vars-position-in-subunit="4">Rafael Grossi</a>, the head of the International Atomic Energy Agency, told CBS’ “Face the Nation” in an interview set to air Sunday that Iran’s capacities remain but it is impossible to know the timeline or access the full damage to the program unless inspectors are allowed in, which Iranian officials have not allowed.</p>
</div>
<div class="primary-cli cli cli-text ">
<p>“It is clear that there has been severe damage, but it’s not total damage, first of all. And secondly, Iran has the capacities there, industrial and technological capacities. So if they so wish, they will be able to start doing this again.”</p>
