The latest wave of American strikes against Iran has been completed, US Central Command (CENTCOM) announced on X/Twitter on Thursday night.
"US forces, including fighter jets, aerial drones, and warships, launched precision munitions that hit dozens of Iranian military targets such as coastal surveillance and air defense sites, military logistics infrastructure, and maritime capabilities," CENTCOM said. "This was the sixth consecutive night of US strikes against Iran."
CENTCOM added that it is "further degrading Iranian military capabilities and holding Iran accountable for recent attacks on commercial shipping," and that over 50,000 US service members stationed in the Middle East remain "vigilant, lethal, and ready."
Five bridges in southern Iran were hit in the latest wave of US attacked, according to Iran's state news agency Mehr, which added on early Friday morning that three explosions were heard in Chabahar, southeastern Iran.
Iran claims US attack on airport, Bandar Khamir bridge
Earlier on Thursday, Iran’s semi-official Tasnim News Agency had reported an American attack on the Iranshahr airport. According to the report, three strong explosions were heard around the airport, where Iranian armed forces are stationed.
The Kehvarstan bridge, which crosses the Shur River in southern Iran, is a key transportation route, according to Tasnim. Traffic on the Bandar Abbas-Kehvarstan-Lar route has been suspended, it added.
IRNA reported that seven people were killed in US attacks on bridges in Bandar Khamir, according to information from the Hormozgan University of Medical Sciences.
Tasnim also denied explosions in the Iranian city of Zahedan, citing on-site investigations in "key locations in the city" indicating that reports of attacks are untrue.
