Qeshm , July 30 : Search and rescue operations are underway in Iran's Qeshm after a residential house was targeted in a strike, with two children rescued from under the rubble and shifted to medical centres, Iranian state media IRIB reported. According to IRIB, the house was occupied by a family of five who were inside the building when the incident occurred. Meanwhile, the sound of several explosions was reported in four cities in Khuzestan province -- Shadegan, Arvandkenar, Abadan and Ahvaz. The strikes aimed to "further diminish threats posed by Iran and its proxies to American forces, commercial shipping, and neighboring Gulf countries," CENTCOM said. CENTCOM said that the US action came a day after IRGC forces launched multiple ballistic missiles from Iran in an "attempted surprise attack" on US forces based in West Asia.
