Iraq Bombs Tehran for 3rd Straight Day
Iraqi warplanes attacked Tehran for a third straight day Friday after a “terrible night” of air raids that plunged the Iranian capital into darkness for hours, residents said.
Iran claimed it later retaliated by firing a missile at Baghdad.
Iraqi jets dropped bombs and fired missiles in three separate attacks on the capital. The official Islamic Republic News Agency, IRNA, said scores of people were killed and many houses were destroyed in the raids.
Only 10 minutes after the last Iraqi raid, Iran fired a surface-to-surface missile at Baghdad, IRNA said. It was the 11th missile attack by Iran on Baghdad this year.
