Iran says it hit U.S. military targets in Gulf as it buries slain leader Khamenei
DUBAI – Iranian armed forces launched attacks on U.S. military infrastructure in Persian Gulf states on Thursday following U.S. strikes on Iran’s southern coastal and eastern provinces, further eroding a 3-week-old ceasefire.
Iranian media later reported multiple explosions across southern Iran, including Bushehr, where one of the country’s nuclear plants is located, along with Konarak, Choghadak and Bandar Abbas.
A U.S. official said there had been no American strikes in recent hours. The attacks came as Iran buried its slain Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei at a shrine in Mashhad, capping a week of funeral processions and rallies.
