Thirteenth consecutive night of US air strikes on Iran | BBC News

 

14th Day: Iran Attacks US Command Center In Syria And Gulf Ally Bahrain Amid Escalating Regional Conflict

 

• Iran launched renewed attacks on US military targets and Gulf allies, striking a command center near Al-Tanf in Syria and triggering air raid sirens in Bahrain, while continuing pressure on the Strait of Hormuz, which has driven oil prices above $90 per barrel.
• The strikes targeted US partners (including facilities in Bahrain and Kuwait) and were described by Iran as retaliation for American actions; the US responded with its eighth consecutive night of strikes on Iranian targets.
• The escalation has caused civilian and military casualties, damaged infrastructure (including a power plant in Kuwait and a nuclear-related site in Iran), and further dimmed hopes for a political settlement despite mediation efforts.

Iran renewed attacks on US military targets and its regional allies on Monday, saying it had struck a command center near the Al-Tanf base in Syria, while Bahrain sounded air raid sirens as the latest escalation sent oil prices above $90 a barrel.

Iran’s Revolutionary Guards said they had launched a “surprise attack” on an enemy special operations command center in the Al-Tanf region of Syria, according to a statement carried by Iranian state news agency IRNA.

The attack was described as retaliation for the deaths of Iranian soldiers from Iranshahr, a city in southeastern Iran.

UK 'ready to defend itself' after Iran says bases are 'legitimate targets'

The British government has said it "stands ready 24/7 to defend itself" after Iran said UK bases used by the US were considered "legitimate targets".

The UK has allowed the US to launch "defensive" operations from British bases hosting American personnel and aircraft, while refusing to cooperate in offensive operations against Iran.

Iran's foreign ministry said the UK was an "accomplice" in the US war, while the powerful Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) military wing said any country which supports the US militarily "will be responsible for the consequences and repercussions".

It comes as the US carried out a 13th consecutive night of strikes against targets in Iran.

While US President Donald Trump has repeatedly criticised the British government and former Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer for what he has deemed a lack of support for his war, Iran's comments on 23 July sought to paint the UK as a party to the campaign.

Parts of North Wales declared in Drought NO Hose pipe bans in place.

 

Drought status has been declared across a wide area of North Wales. Natural Resources Wales (NRW) said widespread wildfires, record-low river flows and successive heatwaves have triggered the declaration.

The areas affected include North Gwynedd, Ynys Môn, South Gwynedd, Dee (Wales), Clwyd and Upper Severn.

NRW is encouraging people to use water wisely but water company Dwr Cymru said there are no current Temporary Use Bans (hosepipe bans) in the areas entering drought conditions. Sign up for the North Wales Live newsletter sent twice daily to your inbox

The NRW decision follows continued hot, dry weather over recent weeks. July is on course to become the driest on record in Wales for almost 190 years if significant rainfall does not arrive before the end of the month.

Russian warship carried out firing exercise off Plymouth coast

A Russian warship, shadowed by a Royal Navy vessel, carried out a live-fire artillery exercise just 46 miles (74km) south of Plymouth on Monday.

The Royal Navy monitored the exercise and is tracking "the vessel's activity closely", a Ministry of Defence spokesperson said.

The BBC has been told that, prior to opening fire, Russian frigate Neustrashimy (English: Dauntless) had informed the Royal Navy Offshore Patrol Vessel, HMS Tyne, of its intention to conduct gunnery activity.

Newly appointed Defence Secretary Wes Streeting called the exercise "performative and irresponsible". The Kremlin has signalled there was no link between the exercise and Andy Burnham taking office as prime minister.

US strikes on Iran as Trump threatens to attack underground nuclear site

 

The US launched strikes on Iran for the 11th consecutive night late on Tuesday, as Tehran warned the US against targeting its nuclear facilities.

US Central Command (Centcom) said the wave of strikes were "designed to continue degrading Iran's ability to threaten commercial shipping" in the Strait of Hormuz.

Iranian state media reported that air defences were activated in the capital Tehran. Explosions were also reported in Tabriz, Chabahar, Konarak, and in Bushehr, home to Iran's only nuclear power plant.

Iran, which has retaliated against the US and its Middle East allies, warned of reprisals after Donald Trump said the US would soon hit an underground nuclear site near Natanz.

Iran and the US agreed a ceasefire in April, but hostilities resumed last week as both countries battled over control of the vital Strait of Hormuz waterway.

Centcom said US forces had targeted Iranian military operations centres, maritime capabilities, aircraft hangars, drone storage facilities, and military logistics infrastructure.

It also accused Iran of attacking "more than 30 commercial vessels" passing through the Strait of Hormuz over the past three months.
