 Iran retaliates to US attacks

 
TEHRAN, 17 July. - (ANA) - Iran said it ⁠launched fresh attacks on US facilities in the Gulf and Jordan on Friday after a sixth consecutive ⁠night of US strikes on targets across Iran. 
 
Why it matters: Tehran accused the US of hitting civilian sites, including five bridges, an airport and a railway station, killing seven people, according to Iranian media. 
 
One month after Tehran and Washington signed a memorandum of understanding intended to bring 60 days of calm, the truce ​has descended into daily attacks and counterattacks. 
 
Iran's Revolutionary Guards also said ​they had struck two radar sites belonging to the US in Oman. ​
 
Separately, they said they had attacked ​a US special ⁠operations command centre at Al Tanf in ⁠Syria in retaliation for ​the killing of Iranian soldiers in Iranshahr, Iran's Tasnim news agency reported. 
 
The US military ​said ⁠in February it ‌had completed a withdrawal from the Al Tanf base, which is positioned ​at the tri-border confluence of Syria, Jordan and Iraq.  - (ANA) -
