Iran says it hits US military targets in Gulf, lays slain leader to rest

Iranian armed forces launched attacks on U.S. military infrastructure in Gulf states on Thursday following U.S. strikes on Iran's southern coastal and eastern provinces, putting ​further strain on a three-week-old ceasefire agreement.

The attacks came on the day ​that Iran buries its slain Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei at the shrine of Mashhad, in the culmination of a week of mass funeral ​processions and rallies. Khamenei was killed in a U.S. airstrike on the first day of the war on February 28.
