Overview
- U.S. Central Command confirmed late Friday that American jets, drones and warships carried out a seventh consecutive night of precision strikes on Iran, targeting surveillance sites, logistics hubs, underground weapons storage and maritime assets.
- Iran responded with missile and drone attacks directed at U.S. facilities and allied states including Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain and Jordan, with air defenses engaging incoming threats and at least one child reported wounded by falling debris in Doha.
- Iranian authorities reported dozens of civilian deaths and hundreds wounded from recent U.S. strikes on bridges, ports and power sites in southern provinces, while the U.S. has acknowledged additional service members wounded during the campaign.
- The U.S. confirmed it struck a surveillance tower at Chabahar port and maritime movements through the Strait of Hormuz have fallen sharply, pushing benchmark oil prices up and disrupting global shipping routes.
- The United Nations and regional mediators have warned the escalation risks a broader war as blockades and attacks on energy and water infrastructure worsen humanitarian strains and complicate diplomacy.
