Iran attacks US, Israeli targets, Israel strikes Iranian transport facilities

Iran claims to have attacked multiple U.S. and Israeli targets while Israel said it struck Iranian transportation infrastructure on Tuesday.

Iran's Islamic Revolution Guard Corps (IRGC) said Tuesday that Iranian forces struck power facilities and fuel depots near the southern Israeli city of Dimona, as well as U.S. military targets in the United Arab Emirates and Kuwait.

According to Iranian media, Seyed Majid Mousavi, commander of the IRGC's Aerospace Division, said on social media on Tuesday that Iran has newly deployed dual-launch missile systems, and warned that the scale of the strikes will double.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Tuesday that the Israeli Air Force had attacked railways and bridges used by the IRGC that day, and Israel's airstrikes against Iran are increasing in intensity.

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) stated on Tuesday that it had carried out precision strikes on dozens of infrastructure sites across Iran.

The IDF also said that it had struck bridges and other facilities used for transporting weapons and equipment within Iran, including eight bridges in Tehran, Karaj, Tabriz, Kashan, and Qom. The IDF said attacks on Iranian infrastructures will continue.

China's foreign exchange reserves stood at 3.3421 trillion U.S. dollars at the end of March 2026, down 85.7 billion dollars, or 2.5 percent, from the end of February, official data showed on Tuesday.

The State Administration of Foreign Exchange noted that in March, the U.S. dollar index rose, while prices of major global financial assets declined, influenced by the global macroeconomic environment, monetary policies of major economies, and market expectations.

The combined effects of exchange rate conversion and changes in asset prices led to a decrease in China's foreign exchange reserves during the month, the administration said.

China's economy registered steady and improving performance during the period, with new and higher-quality development momentum. Its steady performance provided solid support for keeping the scale of the country's foreign exchange reserves basically stable, according to the administration.
