Guerra in Medio Oriente, nuovi raid Usa contro l’Iran: Teheran annuncia attacchi a basi americane

Nuova notte di tensione in Medio Oriente. Gli Stati Uniti hanno lanciato una serie di attacchi contro obiettivi iraniani nell’area dello Stretto di Hormuz, in risposta all’abbattimento di un elicottero Apache americano. Secondo fonti statunitensi, i raid hanno preso di mira basi navali, sistemi radar e postazioni di artiglieria.

La risposta di Teheran non si è fatta attendere. Le Guardie Rivoluzionarie iraniane hanno dichiarato di aver colpito una base militare americana ad Azraq, in Giordania, sostenendo di aver distrutto diversi obiettivi, tra cui un centro di comando Usa e alcuni caccia F-35. Al momento non risultano conferme indipendenti sulle rivendicazioni iraniane.

Nel frattempo il Ministero degli Esteri iraniano ha accusato i Paesi della regione che ospitano infrastrutture e basi utilizzate dagli Stati Uniti e da Israele, affermando che avrebbero una “responsabilità morale e legale” nelle operazioni militari condotte contro la Repubblica Islamica.

L’escalation segna un ulteriore aggravamento della crisi tra Washington e Teheran, alimentando il timore di un allargamento del conflitto a tutta l’area mediorientale.

The Israel Defense Forces said the explosions constituted the “destruction of terrorist infrastructure” near the border. In a statement they added: “IDF troops have conducted targeted operations against Hezbollah's combat compounds in southern Lebanon. These operations were conducted in order to dismantle the military capabilities of Hezbollah's Radwan Forces and prevent it from carrying out its October 7th-style ‘Conquer the Galilee’ plan for an invasion into northern Israel. “The soldiers identified and breached underground access points near the border area, exposed extensive weapon caches, assembly areas for terrorist operative operations, and more. During these operations, the troops also collected valuable intelligence and methodically dismantled the weapons and compounds, including underground infrastructure and advanced weaponry of Iranian origin. “The troops also uncovered and destroyed underground infrastructure, struck thousands of targets and hundreds of weapons storage facilities, tons of explosives, and hundreds of living areas for operatives, command centers and more. Some of the weapons were recovered and taken by the soldiers back into Israeli territory.” Where: Lebanon When: 01 Oct 2024 Credit: IDF/Cover Images **EDITORIAL USE ONLY.
