    About 350 thousand according to this source whe you can find a list and a very conservative death count: https://www.chinadaily.com.cn/a/202307/10/WS64ab6988a310bf8a75d6e3a2.html

    The most deadly NATO intervention is the Iraq war, in October 2006 the Lancet estimated the following:

    Three misattributed clusters were excluded from the final analysis; data from 1849 households that contained 12 801 individuals in 47 clusters was gathered. 1474 births and 629 deaths were reported during the observation period. Pre-invasion mortality rates were 5·5 per 1000 people per year (95% CI 4·3–7·1), compared with 13·3 per 1000 people per year (10·9–16·1) in the 40 months post-invasion. We estimate that as of July, 2006, there have been 654 965 (392 979–942 636) excess Iraqi deaths as a consequence of the war, which corresponds to 2·5% of the population in the study area. Of post-invasion deaths, 601 027 (426 369–793 663) were due to violence, the most common cause being gunfire

      Nice, the top link is a good list, although it feels like there are a lot of interventions are missing.

      I’ve also heard the estimates for total casualties of the US/NATO war on Iraq to be ~1M people, but that could be including other deaths related from the infrastructure collapse caused by the war.
