Bandar abbas: Iranian television announced the death of eight soldiers in US attacks this morning. It stated that “the soldiers were killed in Bandar Abbas and Bushehr by hostile shelling following US attacks this morning.”

According to National Iraqi News Agency, the United States launched strikes on Iran early Wednesday morning. US Central Command (CENTCOM) said these strikes, which it described as “retaliatory,” came in response to Iranian attacks on three commercial vessels transiting the Strait of Hormuz on Tuesday, vowing that Iran would “pay a heavy price for targeting and attacking commercial ships.”
