US Launches New Wave of Attacks Against Iran

The United States launched new attacks today against several locations in the Iranian city of Ahvaz, in the southwestern province of Khuzestan. While local media reported explosions near Bandar Abbas.

The official Iranian news agency IRNA quoted Khuzestan’s deputy governor, Valiollah Hayati. Also who confirmed that US forces attacked various locations in Ahvaz.

Meanwhile, Iranian media reported three explosions east of Bandar Abbas, in the southern province of Hormozgan.

So far, authorities have not provided information on possible casualties or material damage caused by the attacks.

This marks the fourth consecutive night of US airstrikes against Iranian cities and islands. Amid a military escalation that also involves several Arab countries in the region.

On Tuesday, Jordan announced the interception of four missiles launched from Iranian territory. While Kuwait and Bahrain reported activating their air defense systems against aerial threats.

Washington maintains that its attacks are a response to Iranian actions against merchant ships in the Strait of Hormuz.

Tehran, for its part, claimed to have bombed US military installations in Arab countries. Some of which reported civilian casualties and infrastructure damage.

Iran also warned that it will act against any vessel that attempts to cross the Strait of Hormuz without coordination with its authorities. Or outside of the routes established by Tehran.

Oman and Iran agreed to continue consultations to guarantee the safety of navigation and freedom of transit in this strategic waterway.

Washington and Tehran signed a memorandum of understanding in June that included a ceasefire, mediated by Qatar and Pakistan.

However, US President Donald Trump announced the end of the truce on July 8th after a new escalation of the conflict.
