Iran state TV says US struck near Iraq border
Iranian state television said Wednesday that US airstrikes attacked an area around Piranshahr, a city in northwest Iran near the border with Iraq.
State television reported that a location in the Piranshahr border area was attacked by what it called American enemy airstrikes. Fars news agency had earlier quoted an official in West Azerbaijan province as saying a missile hit an uninhabited area and caused no casualties.
The reported attack came hours after Iran's Revolutionary Guards said their aerospace force targeted a US airbase and the US Central Command Centre in Jordan with several ballistic missiles, according to a statement carried by state television.
Jordan's army said it intercepted five missiles coming from Iran and targeting the kingdom's territory.
The developments came as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu visited Washington to meet US President Donald Trump. The attacks were the first since Washington and Tehran paused strikes last weekend, after two weeks of renewed hostilities.
