US airstrikes hit bridges and infrastructure in Iran's southern Hormozgan province, killing at least seven civilians and wounding over 300. The attacks, confirmed by the US military's Central Command, targeted multiple locations including Bandar Khamir and Chabahar, expanding the ongoing conflict.
The escalating conflict between the US and Iran, marked by direct airstrikes on Iranian infrastructure and retaliatory missile attacks, threatens regional stability and global oil markets due to the strategic importance of the Strait of Hormuz.
The United States has expanded its airstrike campaign against Iran, targeting bridges and infrastructure in Hormozgan province, including near the Strait of Hormuz. Iranian state media reported that at least seven civilians were killed and over 300 wounded following strikes on bridges, including the Gariveh bridge, and in Bandar Abbas. Fresh explosions were also reported in the port city of Chabahar. The US military's Central Command confirmed hitting dozens of targets. These actions follow threats from U.S. President Donald Trump to strike Iranian infrastructure. In response, Iran launched new missile attacks against U.S.-allied nations in the Middle East, and the interim ceasefire between the US and Iran has collapsed.
