Summary
Iran’s Health Ministry said Saturday that U.S. strikes across six cities on Wednesday and Thursday killed 17 people and wounded 115, up from the 14 dead and 78 injured previously reported.
The strikes followed the collapse of a fragile mid-June truce after Iran hit commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz; Iranian officials have privately told Trump advisers the attacks were a mistake by hardliners.
Abbas Araghchi arrived in Oman for indirect talks with U.S. mediators, with no Americans expected to attend, while Tehran publicly accused Washington of violating the memorandum of understanding.
Tensions remained high as Trump warned that "1000 Missiles" were ready if Iran tried to assassinate him, and Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei vowed revenge for his father’s death.
