Iran retaliates to US attacks
TEHRAN, 17 July. - (ANA) - Iran said it launched fresh attacks on US facilities in the Gulf and Jordan on Friday after a sixth consecutive night of US strikes on targets across Iran.
Why it matters: Tehran accused the US of hitting civilian sites, including five bridges, an airport and a railway station, killing seven people, according to Iranian media.
One month after Tehran and Washington signed a memorandum of understanding intended to bring 60 days of calm, the truce has descended into daily attacks and counterattacks.
Iran's Revolutionary Guards also said they had struck two radar sites belonging to the US in Oman.
Separately, they said they had attacked a US special operations command centre at Al Tanf in Syria in retaliation for the killing of Iranian soldiers in Iranshahr, Iran's Tasnim news agency reported.
The US military said in February it had completed a withdrawal from the Al Tanf base, which is positioned at the tri-border confluence of Syria, Jordan and Iraq. - (ANA) -
