JAKARTA - Eight people were killed and 20 others were injured in a US attack last night on infrastructure in several Iranian provinces, state news agency IRNA reported on Friday.
The attacks took place Thursday night and Friday morning, targeting infrastructure in several parts of the country, according to the news agency.
Hossein Kermanpour, head of the Ministry of Health's Public Relations and Information Center, said on the X social media that the number of people killed in the US attacks updated this month has increased to 38, with more than 400 others injured, as reported by Anadolu (17/7).
He explained that the dead included three women and one person under the age of 18, while the injured included 22 women and nine minors.
Meanwhile, forty-seven people are still hospitalized, Kermanpour added.
Earlier, the US Central Command (US CENTCOM) said on Thursday it had completed a new wave of offensive strikes against Iran, marking the sixth consecutive night of US military operations targeting Iranian military assets.
Regional tensions have escalated since February, when the US and Israel launched a joint offensive against Iran, while Tehran responded with missile and drone attacks targeting Gulf states hosting US military assets.
Iran and the United States signed a memorandum of understanding mediated by Pakistan last month aimed at ending the conflict and reaching a lasting peace deal.
Recently, tensions have escalated in recent days in the Strait of Hormuz, with both sides launching attacks.
