US strikes bridges and collapses a tower at a key port as its Iran campaign expands
- The United States expanded its military campaign against Iran with a sixth consecutive night of airstrikes, shifting its strategy to target critical infrastructure.
- Overnight strikes in Iran's southern Hormozgan province hit several bridges, including in the coastal city of Bandar Khamir, resulting in at least seven deaths.
- The U.S. bombardment also targeted Chabahar port on the Gulf of Oman, apparently collapsing a key maritime traffic control tower at the strategic trade gateway.
- In immediate retaliation for the infrastructure damage, Iran launched fresh missile barrages toward U.S.-allied regional partners, triggering air defenses and warning sirens in Qatar.
- President Donald Trump defended the escalation in a primetime address, asserting that the campaign is succeeding and aiming to force Iran to ease its blockade on the Strait of Hormuz.
