The United States bombed Iran for the eleventh night in a row
In response, Iran has attacked U.S. allied countries, hitting U.S. bases in Bahrain, Kuwait, and Jordan.
TheU.S.Army has announced that it has attacked Iran for the eleventh night in a row as part of an offensive officially launched to "further weaken Iran's ability to threaten commercial maritime transport in the Strait of Hormuz."
It was a 75-minute offensive, according to CETCOM (U.S. Military Command Central), targeting "Iranian military operations centers, naval facilities, aircraft hangars, drone tanks, and military logistics infrastructure. "The U.S. accuses Iran of attacking more than 30 merchant ships in Ormuz.
According to Iran's leading news agencies, explosionshave been recorded in the country's capital, Tehran, and Mahshah, on the border with Iraq, but the country's southern coast has been the target of most US attacks.
In responseto these attacks, Iran has launched missiles and drones at US bases in several Persian Gulf countries, including Bahrain, Kuwait and Jordan, all US allies.
He has also warned Washington that Iran will launch an attack that would endanger the interests of the US, its allies, and the countries that support it, if it attacks its nuclear facilities or other sensitive centers in the country.
In particular, Iran's warning comes in response toUS President Donald Trump's threat to destroy Mount Pickaxe on Tuesday "soon and with great force."
Trump has also threatened to consider energy infrastructure or bridges as targets for attacks, the destruction of which, being vital to civilians, could be considered a war crime under the 1949 Geneva Conventionon International Humanitarian Law.
50 civilians have been killed in Iran and more than 500 injured in the latest US attacks, according to the Iranian Ministry of Health.
Just today, a funeral procession was held in Iran in memory of several recently identified victims who died in the attack on a primary school in the southern city of Minab, which killed 168 people, many of them girls, on the first day of the U.S. and Israeli war against the Islamic Republic.
On the other hand, the Pentagon has increased the number of soldiers killed to 18 and the number injured by Iranian attacks in the region to 100.
Nuclear Agreement between the United States and Saudi Arabia
In this context of tension in the Persian Gulf, the White House has reached an agreement with Saudi Arabia that potentially opens the door to a civilian nuclear program and uranium enrichment to that Arab country.
Saudi Arabia is one of Trump's allies in the Persian Gulf, and the only country Iran has not attacked in the area since the resumption of hostilities between the United States and the Islamic Republic two weeks ago.
In addition, the US recently approved the sale of high-precision rockets to Saudi Arabia for $2 billion.
