Iran’s armed forces have claimed that about 220 US troops and commanders were killed or injured in retaliatory attacks over the past 24 hours, according to a military spokesperson.
Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi called for an end to military operations, and urged all parties to return to the negotiating table as soon as possible.
The ongoing conflict between Iran, Israel and the United States in the Middle East is becoming increasingly intense. Even after eight days, there is no sign of stopping the war; on the contrary, both sides have increased the level of attacks. US President Donald Trump has taken a tougher stance after his call for unconditional surrender to Iran was rejected.
Iran can fight a war of this size and scale for “at least” another six months, a Revolutionary Guards official has claimed.
Iran has destroyed a crucial $300 million radar system, vital for operating the United States' missile defence network in the Gulf region, through a missile strike. The attack is believed to potentially weaken the regional capability to counter future strikes.
US President Donald Trump has threatened to deliver a 'severe blow' to Iran today. Trump made the statement on his social media platform Truth Social on Saturday, March 7.
