Iranian state media said the #US - #Israel attacks targeted a growing list of cities & sites across #Iran.
Plumes of smoke could be seen above #Tehran due to direct strikes, with reports of explosions in or near the major cities of #Isfahan, #Shiraz & #Tabriz.
Blasts were also reported in several western towns as well as around #PersianGulf port cities that are critical to Iran’s major #oil #trade, including #Asaluyeh.

One of the officials said it was decided that the response would target #US forces & interests in Iraq’s semi-autonomous northern Kurdish region & in neighboring #Jordan.
US troops have vacated bases where they were previously stationed in #Iraq in areas under the control of the central government in Baghdad as a result of an agreement to end the military mission in Iraq of an American-led coalition fighting the Islamic State, but they remain in the Kurdish region.
One of the most prominent Iraqi #militias, #KataibHezbollah, on Thursday issued a public statement urging its fighters to “be prepared to engage in a #war of attrition that may be prolonged & exceed the expectations of the #US administration.” It also issued a warning to the #Kurdish regional government in #Iraq “against collaborating with hostile foreign forces” that “could threaten its security & future.”

#RedCross calls for respect for #RulesOfWar
“The #military escalation in the #MiddleEast is igniting a dangerous chain reaction across the region, with potentially devastating consequences for #civilians,” #ICRC President Mirjana Spoljaric said.
Spoljaric said civilian infrastructure, such as #schools, #homes & #hospitals, must be spared from attacks.

@Nonilex i don't think that these calls for respect for rules of war matter. We can see it in Ukraine.
