US Says It Has Ended Its Latest Round of Airstrikes Targeting Iran
U.S. Central Command said the latest wave aimed to degrade Iranian military capabilities as Tehran’s blockade again halted traffic through Hormuz.
- On Friday, the United States expanded its airstrike campaign against Iran, marking the sixth consecutive night of bombardment as forces increasingly targeted bridges to pressure Tehran to loosen its control over the Strait of Hormuz.
- Hostilities escalated after an interim ceasefire collapsed, prompting the U.S. to resume attacks and reimpose a naval blockade Tuesday, while Iran seeks to establish authority over the Strait of Hormuz and impose passage fees.
- Thursday strikes hit Qeshm Island and Bandar Abbas, killing at least seven people, according to Iranian state television; U.S. Central Command stated operations targeted coastal surveillance, air defense sites, and military logistics infrastructure.
- Tehran countered with missile attacks against U.S.-allied nations, including a barrage targeting a Jordan air base; Ebrahim Zolfaghari, a spokesperson for the Iranian military's Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters, threatened widespread attacks on regional infrastructure if the U.S. continues targeting bridges.
- President Donald Trump has not ruled out using ground forces to seize Kharg Island, Iran's main oil export terminal, and repeatedly warned of further strikes on power plants and bridges next week unless Tehran resumes negotiations.
