@Alone-zee’s answer is correct. “faire état de” is a french saying used a lot in news broadcasts. It can be translated by “to mention” or “to report”.

In your case, you could translate

Un premier bilan diffusé par la télévision d’Etat iranienne a fait état de six morts dans la ville-frontière de Qasr-e Shirin.

A first report released by Iranian state television mentionned six deaths in the border town of Qasr-e Shirin.
