U.S. forces have conducted raids against approximately 100 targets in Iran, striking two tankers belonging to Tehran. According to Iranian sources, at least 11 casualties have been reported, though Washington has not confirmed this.

In response to these attacks, Tehran launched missiles and drones toward Kuwait, which activated its air defenses. The Guards also initiated an attack on U.S. bases in Erbil, Iraq.

U.S. President Donald Trump commented on the operation, stating that if Iran were to retaliate, it would face even harsher consequences. He ruled out any intention to force negotiations with Tehran.

Iranian authorities, for their part, claimed to have inflicted significant losses on U.S. forces in Jordan, a claim that has been denied by Washington. Iranian leader Ali Khamenei vowed that the United States would receive an unforgettable lesson for its actions.

This situation marks a further step toward a significant escalation in relations between the United States and Iran, with both sides confirming the attacks, thereby heightening tensions in the region.
