Iran war news LIVE Updates: Iran says 142 injured, 18 killed in US strikes; Trump says clashes won't last ‘too long’
As the US-Iran war escalated this week, Iran’s health ministry spokesperson Hossein Kermanpour shared on X the number of people injured in the latest US strikes on Iran. He said that 142 people were injured in the attack, including 61 women and 44 people under the age of 18.
Iranian security chief Mohsen Rezaei stated that Washington will witness Tehran's "new strategy for war" soon, as tensions between the two nations escalated following US strikes on Iranian targets. According to Iran's health ministry spokesperson, 142 people were injured and 18 people were killed in the strikes, including two women and a child.
Despite US President Donald Trump's warning that Iran would be "hit much harder" if it retaliated, Iran launched ballistic missiles towards Jordan and drones towards Bahrain and Kuwait in defiance of Trump's warning. The latest round of strikes began after a series of exchanges between the two nations, risking reigniting the conflict after weeks of relative calm.
US Senator Bernie Sanders criticized Trump's suggestion to rename the Strait of Hormuz after himself, stating that Americans do not want the name change and want Trump to end the illegal war in Iran.
