Between the early hours of Tuesday and Thursday, U.S. airstrikes in Iran resulted in the deaths of at least 11 people, according to the Iranian news agency IRNA.

The agency reported that the series of air attacks was part of an escalation of hostilities between Iran and the United States that has been occurring in recent weeks.

In response to the bombings, the Iranian government confirmed that it launched a 'decisive retaliatory operation' against U.S. bases and interests in the region, using missiles and drones.

Another source, Observador, reported that the death toll could be even higher, with other accounts suggesting that up to 18 people have died and around 68 were injured during the attacks.

The situation has generated rising tensions between the two countries, with the Iranian government emphasizing a military push in response to these air incursions.

So far, there have been no additional official comments from U.S. authorities regarding the matter.
