US airstrike reported near Iran-Iraq border; no casualties reported

Published

on

Iranian state media reported on Wednesday that a suspected US airstrike targeted an area near the western Iranian city of Piranshahr, close to the Iraqi border, with no casualties or damage immediately reported.

According to Iran’s state broadcaster IRIB, the strike hit a location in West Azerbaijan province and was “reportedly carried out by the United States.” The broadcaster did not provide further details on the target or the timing of the attack.

There has been no immediate confirmation from US officials.

The reported strike comes as tensions between Washington and Tehran remain high despite a recent lull in hostilities.

A fragile calm has largely held since Friday after the latest exchange of US strikes on Iranian targets and Iranian retaliatory attacks subsided.

President Donald Trump declared a ceasefire had ended on July 8 following tanker attacks in the Strait of Hormuz, which Washington blamed on Tehran.

During the recent escalation, the United States said it struck military infrastructure, coastal surveillance systems, missile and drone facilities, naval assets and logistics sites inside Iran.

Iran responded by launching attacks against what it described as US military facilities and equipment in several Arab countries.

The latest flare-up occurred despite a memorandum of understanding signed by Washington and Tehran in June aimed at halting the fighting and opening negotiations on a broader agreement to end the conflict that began with Israeli and US attacks on Feb. 28.

Iranian authorities said no casualties or material damage were reported from Wednesday’s alleged strike. The incident could not be independently verified.

Afghanistan exports first stone shipment to US in $100,000 trade milestone

The export was coordinated through the Herat Chamber of Industries before being shipped to the U.S.

Afghanistan has exported its first shipment of natural stone to the United States, marking a significant milestone in the country’s efforts to expand mineral exports and strengthen its foothold in international markets.

The shipment, valued at $100,000, was sent by a private Afghan company and consists of black stone extracted from the Zindajan mine in the western province of Herat.

The export was coordinated through the Herat Chamber of Industries before being shipped to the U.S.

Industry officials said the export underscores the growing potential of Afghanistan’s mining sector, which is home to vast untapped reserves of minerals and natural stone. They expressed hope that increased access to international markets would encourage investment, boost production, and create new employment opportunities.

Herat, one of Afghanistan’s principal commercial and industrial centres, has long played a key role in the country’s trade due to its strategic location and abundance of natural resources. Officials believe expanding exports of locally sourced minerals could help diversify Afghanistan’s economy and strengthen the private sector.

The shipment forms part of broader efforts to increase Afghanistan’s exports and promote the country’s mining and industrial products in global markets.

Authorities have repeatedly identified the mining sector as a key driver of long-term economic growth, with natural stone among the products expected to attract greater international demand.
