Share A A ABaghdad: The US military launched strikes on Iranian targets, hours after President Donald Trump warned that a retaliatory attack was imminent after Iran launched a barrage of missiles toward American forces in the Middle East. AdvertisementThe wave of attacks lasted about two hours, after the US military said it had concluded its strikes on “dozens” of Iranian targets including military command centres, missile and drone facilities and coastal surveillance and defence sites. It was not immediately clear who was responsible for the strikes on a US-owned floating storage facility and a Greek-owned tanker.
