Tehran: Eighteen people were killed and 108 others were injured in Iran during Tuesday's US attacks, Iran's state-run broadcaster IRIB cited Health Minister Mohammad Reza Zafarghandi as saying on Wednesday.

According to Anadolu Agency, the outlet did not provide further details about the attacks. The US Central Command (CENTCOM) announced late Tuesday that it had launched strikes against Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) targets in Iran.

Following the announcement, Iranian media reported explosions on Qeshm Island, as well as in Bandar Abbas, Sirik, Chabahar, and Konarak.

Iran's IRGC stated that it had retaliated by attacking several US military facilities in neighboring countries, including Kuwait, the UAE, Jordan, Bahrain, and Iraq.

On June 18, 2026, Washington and Tehran signed a memorandum of understanding aimed at ending hostilities and reopening the Strait of Hormuz to navigation. The agreement later stalled amid differences over its implementation and the security of the waterway. However, clashes resumed in July.
