Mojtaba Zon-noor, a current parliamentarian and former head of the Iranian legislature’s committee on national security and foreign policy, was quoted by Tasnim news agency as telling reporters on Monday. "Regretfully, we had 230 fatalities in those incidents, including six security officers who were martyred.”
