Two killed in US strike on Iran's Shalamcheh border crossing with Iraq

Two people were killed and 11 others injured in a US strike at Iran's Shalamcheh border crossing with Iraq early Thursday, Iranian officials said. The area around the passenger terminal at the crossing was targeted, according to Valiollah Hayati, deputy governor for security in Khuzestan province.

Separate Strike and Ongoing Campaign

A separate US missile strike targeted an area near the city of Andimeshk in Khuzestan, with further details to be announced later. The attacks follow fresh US strikes across southwestern and southern Iran as part of a campaign to degrade Iran's ability to threaten civilian shipping in regional waters.

Continued Exchanges

The US has carried out daily strikes across Iran since last week, with Tehran responding with attacks on facilities and bases used by the US military in several countries. The exchanges continue despite a Pakistan-brokered framework agreement signed in June intended to end the conflict.
