Mojtaba Khaledi, spokesman of the organization, told official IRNA news agency that 478 others were injured in the recent floods.
Heavy downpours and floods have caused massive destruction to Iran's agricultural sector, infrastructures as well as the rural and urban residential areas since March 19.
