As the war of aggression moves into its 6th day, Yankee imperialism and the State of Israel continues its bombardment of Iran, with the death-toll rising to 1 230 people murdered. Iran has announced through its State media several retaliatory strikes against US and Israeli targets in the region, and is still blocking the Strait of Hormuz.
US and Israeli missiles struck Karaj in Tehran, murdering several civilians and wounding more than 30 others, Iranian television reported, with 174 cities across the country now affected by the war. Al Mayadeen’s correspondent in Tehran reported that the number of hostile drones shot down by Iranian air defenses has risen to 41.

An Iranian warship IRIS Dena was attacked and sunk by a US submarine torpedo, as seen by a video posted by the US Department of War. Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) claims through the State media Tasnim News Agency that in retaliation, a US oil tanker has been struck and is currently on fire.
In retaliation against US strikes, Iran has so far been launching its low-cost, one-way attack Shahed drones, a fact that has caused top US military officials to declare that “they may not be able to shoot down every Iranian drone being launched against US military installations and assets in retaliatory attack”. So far the cost of the war of aggression on Yankee imperialism have been very high, coming in at around $2bn per day for the US in the first days of the war.
Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) announced that they have fired Khorramshahr-4 missiles at the Ben Gurion airport of Israel, in a retaliatory strike and as part of the operation “True Promise 4”, and that multiple US and Israeli sites have been targeted in the 19th wave of the operation. They go on to claim that they have shot down a Yankee F-15 Strike Eagle jet fighter over Iran’s southeastern border region.
As part of the previous 18th wave, IRGC claims to have struck “around 20 US military targets across the Gulf region. […] in Kuwait, Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates.”
The Strait of Hormuz continues to be fully locked down, causing extensive hikes in the price of oil on a global level, with the price of oil reaching 84$ per barrel, a rise from yesterday of 3,26%.
A drone wave launched by Hezbollah in retaliation for ongoing strikes on Lebanese civilian areas, have triggered Israeli air raid sirens. Two rocket barrages was also fired, targeting Israel’s military industry infrastructure.
The Samandağ Labor and Democracy Forces from Turkey, including Partizan, held a press conference to expose the aggression of the US and Israel against Iran. The event emphasized that the imperialist-capitalist system is trying to overcome its crisis through war.
