US Strikes Iran For 11th Consecutive Night As Tehran Warns Against Attacks On Nuclear Facilities
US strikes Iran for 11th consecutive night as Tehran warns against attacks on nuclear facilities The United States carried out airstrikes on Iran for the 11th consecutive night late on Tuesday, intensifying a military campaign that has heightened fears of a wider regional conflict. The latest strikes came as Tehran warned Washington against targeting its nuclear facilities, saying such an action would have “serious and irreversible consequences. According to Iranian state media, explosions were reported in several parts of the country, including areas around Tehran and military sites in western Iran. Iranian officials said air defence systems were activated to intercept incoming attacks, although authorities did not immediately provide details on casualties or damage. The US has not publicly disclosed the specific targets of the latest operation but has maintained that its campaign is aimed at degrading Iran’s military capabilities and deterring further threats to American forces and allies in the Middle East. The strikes follow days of escalating exchanges between the two countries. Iran’s Foreign Ministry accused the United States of violating international law and warned that any attack on the country’s nuclear infrastructure would cross a “red line.” Officials reiterated that Iran’s nuclear programme is for peaceful purposes and said attacks on such facilities would risk severe environmental and humanitarian consequences.
The latest developments have prompted renewed international calls for restraint. Several governments and the United Nations have urged both sides to avoid further escalation and return to diplomatic efforts, warning that continued military action could destabilise the wider Middle East. The ongoing conflict has already disrupted regional security, affected commercial shipping and aviation routes, and fuelled concerns over global energy supplies, with analysts warning that a prolonged confrontation could have far-reaching economic and geopolitical consequences.
