Iran claims 150 US targets hit as Russian strikes kill 14 in Ukraine

Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps claimed its forces destroyed around 150 American targets during two weeks of military strikes, according to spokesman Sardar Mohebi. The assertion follows a temporary pause in direct bombardment between the United States and Iran, during which Washington raised the possibility of diplomatic discussions while Tehran dismissed the approach as coercive.

Concurrently in Eastern Europe, Russian military strikes killed at least 14 people in Ukraine across two days, including three victims in an attack on a Sumy post office. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky warned that Moscow is preparing a large-scale offensive for the weekend, while Ukrainian forces reported targeting a Russian weapons factory, an oil refinery, and naval vessels. Ukrainian security services also announced the arrest of a Russian agent accused of activating over 1,000 Starlink satellite terminals for Russian personnel.
