US forces launched strikes against Iran on the night of July 9. The US Central Command (CENTCOM) reported that dozens of military targets were hit, including air defense systems, missile and drone storage facilities, as well as naval installations and logistical infrastructure.
The American side asserts that the strikes are intended to weaken Iran's capabilities to attack ships in the Strait of Hormuz. CENTCOM announced a second phase of strikes.
CNN, citing Iran's Ministry of Health, reports that 14 civilians have been killed and 78 others wounded in Iran over the past two days as a result of American strikes.
The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps announced that in response to the American strikes, US military bases located in Kuwait and Bahrain were attacked. Information on the consequences is not yet available. An air raid siren sounded in Qatar during the night.
Recall that the previous day, US President Donald Trump stated in Ankara that the ceasefire with Iran had “ended.” “I don't want to deal with them anymore,” Trump noted.
