US Military Carries Out Strikes on Iran as Both Sides Threaten Civilian Infrastructure

Iran says 53 people have been killed and nearly 600 wounded as the U.S. says its strikes aim to protect shipping in the Strait of Hormuz.

  • The United States military announced Wednesday it was conducting a 12th night of strikes against Iran, targeting aircraft hangars and drone storage sites.
  • President Donald Trump warned Wednesday that the U.S. will destroy one bridge or power plant each time Iran shoots at a ship in the Strait of Hormuz, escalating rhetoric after Iranian Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi vowed an "eye for an eye" defense doctrine.
  • Iran's Health Ministry reports U.S. strikes over the past 11 days have killed 53 people and wounded nearly 600, while Benchmark Brent crude oil surged to more than $93 a barrel from less than $72 early this month.
  • United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres decried such attacks as "unacceptable" on Tuesday, while U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said the U.S. remains open to negotiations, "but right now they don't seem to be serious about that."
  • Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth estimated in a Senate hearing that the U.S. has spent $37.5 billion on the war, as the conflict triggers alerts in Bahrain and Saudi Arabia and threatens global energy supplies through the closed Strait of Hormuz.
