Tehran has vowed to respond “in kind” to any attacks on its infrastructure, following massive strikes by the United States and Israel across Iran. At least 34 people, including six children, were killed in the attacks targeting a top university and residential areas. The strikes came after US President Donald Trump threatened to hit Iran’s power plants and bridges if the Strait of Hormuz was not fully reopened. Iranian officials condemned Trump’s threats as an “incitement to war crimes” and warned of retaliatory attacks.
