US military conducts strikes against Iran for seventh consecutive day

CENTCOM said it hit dozens of military targets and redirected four commercial vessels as Iran broadened retaliatory attacks across the Gulf region.

  • On Friday, U.S. Central Command launched a seventh consecutive night of strikes on Iran, targeting coastal surveillance sites, air defense systems, military logistics infrastructure and naval capabilities to "continue degrading Iranian military capabilities."
  • The campaign intensified following the collapse of a ceasefire agreement last week, marking a shift from tactical strikes to broader infrastructure targets including bridges and power facilities since the conflict began on February 28, 2026.
  • Iranian state media reported three people killed and eight wounded in Hormozgan province, while attacks damaged bridges, desalination plants and other infrastructure critical to regional services.
  • Major-General Mohsen Rezaei, an adviser to Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei, warned Friday that Tehran will shift to "full-scale offensive operations" if U.S. strikes continue for several days.
  • Washington is accelerating its military buildup in Israel with additional aerial refueling aircraft, while shipping in the Strait of Hormuz remains largely halted amid the ongoing missile and drone exchange.
