Kochi: The US struck Iran for the eighth consecutive day with Tehran showing no sign of let up.
The US hit intensively on Sunday after two US soldiers were killed in and another went missing following an Iranian attack on a US base in Jordan.
Iranian media blamed US for attacking a nuclear power plant under-construction in the south-western city of Darkhoveyn, BBC reported.
Iran hit an electricity and water plant in Kuwait for a second time, local officials said.
Three Iranian missiles were shot down by Jordan’s military and a fourth fell in a remote area, Jordan’s state news agency reported.
Iran declared closure of the Strait of Hormuz following preliminary ceasefire collapsing less than a month after it began.
Israel’s military said that “several interceptors were launched toward missile debris in order to prevent debris impact within Israeli territory” after projectiles were launched towards Jordan on Sunday.
Meanwhile, Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said two vessels had ignored Iranian warnings not to transit the Strait of Hormuz and were consequently involved in “an accident”.
It warned that all vessels “influenced” by the US and which used “unsafe routes” would “certainly face accidents”.
The US death toll in the conflict has now risen to 16 after an American Navy pilot who went missing earlier this month was declared dead.
In Iran, at least 50 people have been killed and more than 500 injured in US strikes over the past three weeks.
The Gulf Cooperation Council accused Tehran of targeting civilian infrastructure after the first strike on a Kuwaiti power plant and a water distillation plant.
