What are the latest updates on U.S. military actions in Iran?
Into week number three, I'm Chris DiMeo, Fox News. The U.S. continues pounding targets in Iran, but Iran is fighting back. Iran and its proxies are responding to those U.S. military strikes on Karg Island. We have seen six Iranian ballistic missile attacks here at Israel. We've also seen some action from its proxies in Iraq. The U.S. embassy in Baghdad came under fire this morning.
As the embassy is telling Americans to evacuate the country, that missile struck the helipad at the facility, and the Iranian-backed militia group Qatayb Hezbollah has fired on this complex several times during the war. Meanwhile, U.S. Central Command says it destroyed naval mine storage facilities and ballistic missile supplies on Karg Island.
