US and Israel Step Up Strikes on Iran’s Steel Mills and Infrastructure
On April 2, 2026, US and Israeli forces launched coordinated attacks across Iran. Targets included a century-old medical research centre in Tehran, a key commercial bridge near the capital, and multiple steel plants. This escalation follows President Donald Trump’s warning to send Iran back to the “stone ages.” The Israeli military reports over 40 Hezbollah fighters killed in the past 24 hours. Hezbollah responded with limited attacks on Israeli positions in southern Lebanon and northern Israel, resulting in minimal casualties. Since February 28, US-Israeli operations have killed at least 2,076 Iranians and wounded 26,500. These figures highlight the mounting humanitarian toll after more than a month of conflict.
