Day 152 of the US-Israel War Against Iran: US Says It Has Struck 'Dozens of Targets' in Iran

New Delhi: The West Asia crisis triggered by the US and Israel’s war on Iran entered day 152 on Thursday (June 30). The US military said early Thursday it had completed “a heavy wave of strikes against Iran” conducted in response to an earlier Iranian missile attack on a U.S. base in Jordan.

The latest barrage came after the US partnered with Saudi Arabia to strike Iran-backed militias in neighbouring Iraq, killing at least 20 fighters and six Iranian advisers, reported Associated Press.

The new strikes came hours after US President Donald Trump vowed to hit Iran “very hard” after it targeted a base in Jordan that hosts U.S. troops.

The US Central Command said in a social media post that over two hours the US struck “dozens” of targets belonging to Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps, including military command centres as well as missile and drone facilities, and coastal surveillance and defense sites.
