The United States expands air strikes into northern Iran, according to Iranian officials cited by multiple outlets. Iranian authorities report that the strikes kill more than 35 people and wound more than 300 others. The reports also say the US disables a ship that is accused of attempting to breach a blockade around Iran.
The accounts describe the strike expansion as part of broader US military actions affecting both locations on land within northern Iran and maritime activity connected to attempts to enter or challenge the blockade. While the outlets repeat the same casualty figures from Iranian officials, they do not provide independent verification or additional details about the targets, the ship’s nationality or ownership, or the precise sequence of events.
Overall, the sources align on three key points: US strikes reach northern Iran, Iranian officials report a high number of casualties, and a vessel suspected of trying to break the blockade is disabled by US forces. The articles do not include statements from US authorities in the provided excerpts.
