By Monday 6 April, the eve of the ceasefire, the US had hit “more than 13,000 targets” and damaged or sunk 155 Iranian vessels. That suggests an average of 273 targets were hit each day in the last two weeks, according to analysis by the Center for Strategic & International Studies.
A day before the ceasefire took effect, the US and Israel ramped up attacks across the country, with 124 locations affected - up 70 per cent compared to the daily average for the previous week, according to ACLED. Iranian attacks were reported in just 23 locations, down 20 per cent.
