Iran’s Health Ministry has claimed that 14 people have died in US air strikes in the last two days, while 78 others have been injured. According to the ministry, America carried out air strikes in five provinces of Iran during this period. The injured are being treated in different hospitals. This claim has come at a time when after the ceasefire between America and Iran was broken, the tension between the two countries has again reached its peak.
Ceasefire ends, America resumes military action
The ceasefire between America and Iran has now been broken. After the attacks on commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz, America has once again intensified military operations against Iran. US President Donald Trump said that the ceasefire has now ended and if Iran continues to target international ships, America will respond more strongly than before.
Attacks on missile and drone targets in southern Iran
According to US officials, on Wednesday and Thursday night the US Navy and ground forces jointly attacked several military targets in southern Iran. In these attacks, missile systems, drone bases and those bases around the Strait of Hormuz were targeted, which the US considers a threat to international maritime trade.
CENTCOM confirms additional strikes
US Central Command (CENTCOM) has confirmed that it has launched additional military strikes against Iran. America says that their objective is to weaken Iran’s ability to influence the movement of ships in the Strait of Hormuz. The Strait of Hormuz is counted among the busiest oil transportation routes in the world.
Tension increased after attacks on ships
The latest tensions began when Iran was accused of attacking at least three commercial ships and oil tankers in the Strait of Hormuz on July 6 and 7. Calling it a ceasefire violation, America carried out a precision strike on more than 80 military bases in southern Iran on July 7. After this, a new round of attacks continued on 8th July also.
Targets from air defense to command center
According to the US Army, many military targets like air defense systems, coastal radar, anti-ship missile systems, IRGC’s fast attack boats and command centers were targeted in these attacks.
Sounds of explosions in southern coastal areas
According to Iranian state media, after the US strikes, several loud explosions were heard in the southern coastal areas including Bandar Abbas, Konark and Chabahar. America says that its objective is to ensure safe movement of international ships and to weaken Iran’s military capability.
