4 dead in US strike on Iran as retaliatory drone attack hits Erbil

 

Iranian drones have targeted Erbil on Friday as a retaliatory attack from US killed four on Ahvaz. Al Jazeera confirmed.

 

With this, Military escalations across the Middle East continue for the 13th consecutive night.

 

Previously, Erbil airport was reopened after a drone crashed near the facility following the city attack. Iran’s army claimed it launched attacks on the Al-Azraq US Airbase in Jordan.

 

Meanwhile, sirens sounded in Bahrain, with both Bahrain and Kuwait stating they intercepted incoming Iranian missiles.

 

US Central Command confirmed it concluded air strikes against Iran overnight. Iranian media reported blasts in several cities, including Khorramabad, Jask, Ahvaz, Bandar Abbas, and Qeshm Island.

 

A US missile strike near Ahvaz left four people dead and five injured. Additional strikes on Khorramabad and the port city of Bandar Abbas resulted in two injuries at each site, according to Iranian state media.

 

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi criticized the military action, stating that ‘mindless aggression’ would only force US President Donald Trump to pay a ‘heavier price’ to reach a deal to end the war.

 

In a separate development, four Palestinians and one Israeli settler were killed during a shootout near the illegal settlement of Havat Gilad. The Israeli army announced it is conducting a wide-scale operation in Nablus and surrounding villages in the occupied West Bank in response to the incident.
