A US-Israeli airstrike hit Iran’s Khuzestan Steel Company on Saturday, targeting key production facilities and forcing a halt to operations.
The US and Israel have maintained airstrikes on Iran since February 28, killing so far over 1,340 people, including then-Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei.
Iran has retaliated with drone and missile strikes targeting Israel, along with Jordan, Iraq, and Gulf countries hosting US military assets, causing casualties and damage to infrastructure while disrupting global markets and aviation.
