Iran state TV says US struck near Iraq border

Iranian state television on Wednesday said the United States struck a city in the country's northwest on the border with Iraq.

"A few minutes ago, a location in the Piranshahr border area was attacked by American enemy airstrikes," state television reported.

Fars news agency had earlier quoted an official in West Azerbaijan province as saying a missile hit an uninhabited area, leaving no casualties.

The attack came hours after Iran's Revolutionary Guards said its aerospace force "targeted a US airbase and the US Central Command Centre in Jordan with several ballistic missiles", according to a statement carried by state TV.

"As long as the threats against the Islamic Republic of Iran continue... the resistance will continue," the statement added.

Jordan's army said it intercepted "five missiles coming from Iran targeting the kingdom's territory".

The developments came as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu visited Washington to meet with US President Donald Trump.

The attacks are the first since Washington and Tehran paused strikes last weekend, following a fortnight of renewed hostilities.
