You shouldn't inherently trust any government, especially in times of war.
But Iran has been fairly careful with the accuracy of these type of public declarations during this war.
I'm not saying you should trust everything they say, for example, while I don't trust Trump's reporting on American KIA/WIA, I think their figures are much closer to reality than the Iranian militaries reported enemy losses.
But in this instance, I'm significantly more inclined to believe that Iran's version of events is the most accurate.
