US Iran Attack | '80 Targets, 4-5 Times Bigger Attack': US On New Iran Strikes, Tehran Responds
The new US airstrikes against Iranian military targets in the area of the Strait of Hormuz have been "four or five times bigger in scope
The new US airstrikes against Iranian military targets in the area of the Strait of Hormuz have been "four or five times bigger in scope and power" than any previous attacks carried out ten days ago, according to an Axios report. A US official told the publication that the operation, launched in retaliation for renewed Iranian attacks on commercial ships, could continue for several more hours, even as millions of Iranians are on streets for the mega funeral of former Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei.
The United States has already revoked a temporary sanctions waiver for Iranian oil after three tankers were struck in the strategically crucial commercial shipping route, raising pressure on Tehran as it negotiates with Washington over ending the Middle East war. Officials said the strikes were the most intense US attacks on Iran since the April ceasefire and risk plunging Tehran and Washington into a new cycle of retaliation, threatening the fragile memorandum of understanding signed between the two nations less than three weeks ago.
