What happened
Iran has said it is no longer implementing commitments under a recently signed interim agreement with the United States. The move came after another round of reciprocal strikes on infrastructure and military targets in West Asia.
U.S. Central Command said its seventh consecutive night of strikes hit surveillance sites, military logistics infrastructure, underground weapons storage, and maritime capabilities. Iran said the United States had broken its own commitments under the interim deal.
Damage reported
Iran also said United States strikes damaged power and desalination facilities in Hormozgan province and on Qeshm Island. Iranian authorities said at least 50 people had been killed and more than 500 wounded over three weeks.
