Iran says it has begun retaliatory strikes after US attacks
State media in Iran said missile and drone attacks on US targets had started after American strikes on Iranian territory.
Iranian state media said on Tuesday that it had launched retaliatory missile and drone attacks after US strikes on Iranian territory. The reports said the response was aimed at American targets.
The claims followed earlier Iranian state television coverage saying the United States had carried out multiple strikes inside Iran. The reports did not give a full account of the damage or any casualties.
BBC World reported that the escalation came after US strikes killed four people at a wedding party, according to its account of the incident. The exchange adds to a fast-moving confrontation between the two countries.
