US strikes Iran for sixth night, hits bridges and military sites as Strait of Hormuz conflict escalates
Story Timeline
9 days · 11 summary articles
The United States has conducted airstrikes on Iran for the sixth consecutive night, targeting civilian infrastructure including bridges, an airport, and a train station. Iranian state media reported that at least seven people were killed in the attacks. The US Central Command confirmed that the strikes hit dozens of Iranian military targets, including coastal surveillance and air defense sites, military logistics infrastructure, and maritime capabilities.
In response, Iran launched attacks on US military infrastructure in Bahrain and Kuwait. Iranian state TV reported that the attacks were in response to the crimes of the arrogant enemy and in revenge for the blood of the martyrs of the homeland. Qatar also reported incoming attacks early Friday, with explosions reported as the defense ministry said its army intercepted incoming missiles. Authorities said one child was wounded by falling debris.
US President Donald Trump, in a primetime address to the nation, stated that the US was "winning big in Iran" and that the American public would see "the fruits of that labor very, very shortly." However, the prospects of an agreement between the two nations seem distant as fighting in the region continues to escalate.
The conflict has intensified over the Strait of Hormuz, a vital waterway for global oil shipping. The Strait was initially closed following the launch of the US and Israel's war on Iran on February 28, sending oil, fertilizer, and the price of other goods soaring far beyond the region, giving Iran major leverage in negotiations.
The US military has also boarded a vessel in the Gulf of Oman to ensure full compliance with the ongoing US naval blockade against Iran. US forces redirected three commercial vessels trying to run the blockade and disabled one that didn’t comply.
The escalating conflict has led to widespread attacks on infrastructure in the region. Iranian military chief warned of widespread attacks on "all the infrastructure in the region" if the US continued to strike bridges in Iran.
The US airstrikes have targeted bridges in Bandar Khamir, a coastal city on the Strait of Hormuz, as well as around Tehran and in Semnan province, which holds Iran’s ballistic missile production and space program.
The US Central Command stated that the strikes were aimed at holding Iran accountable for targeting civil and commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz. The US has also targeted Iranian command centers, air defense sites, missile and drone capabilities, and coastal surveillance facilities.
Iran has retaliated by striking US military sites in Jordan, Kuwait, and Bahrain. Jordan confirmed it shot down eight missiles launched by Iran.
The conflict shows no signs of abating, with both sides continuing to exchange fire and no diplomatic resolution in sight.
