BAKU, Azerbaijan, March 14. The Iranian military continues to launch drone attacks against various targets in Israel, the army confirmed, Trend reports.
According to the statement, Iranian forces today struck Israel’s Aman Security Service, its cyber operations division, and areas housing Israeli fighter jets using drones.
Since no concrete agreement was reached in negotiations between the United States (US) and Iran over the nuclear program, the US and Israel began military airstrikes against Iran on February 28. In response, Iran launched missile and drone attacks on Israel and US military facilities located in countries across the region, starting the same day.
On the first day of the air strikes against Iran, Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei and several high-ranking military officials were killed. On March 8, Iran’s Assembly of Experts elected Seyyed Mojtaba Khamenei, the son of Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, as Iran’s third Supreme Leader by majority vote.
Between March 1 and March 5, the confrontation expanded further, affecting several countries across the Middle East.
According to reports, the US side suffered losses of 8 dead and more than 140 wounded.
As a result of the conflict, the region’s energy infrastructure and maritime transportation have also come under serious risk. Due to heightened security tensions around the Strait of Hormuz, global oil prices have surged sharply, and several countries have urged their citizens to leave the region.
