The US military carried out a sixth consecutive night of strikes against Iran, bombing five bridges and an airport in the south, according to a report. At least seven people were reportedly killed. Israeli security officials assess that Iran does not seek to drag Israel into the current round of escalation, but warn that Tehran will 'pay a heavy price.'
At 08:02 Jerusalem, a report said the US military struck five bridges and an airport in southern Iran on the sixth consecutive night of strikes, killing at least seven people. The report also cited Israeli security officials assessing that Iran does not seek to draw Israel into the current escalation but will face a heavy price.
The thread began Thursday evening with initial unverified reports of a single bridge being attacked. By 23:45 Jerusalem, Iranian state TV had confirmed two bridges, and within a short time multiple sources — including ynet, Fars News Agency, and Israeli media — reported that five bridges had been damaged. At 23:33, a separate report mentioned a bridge and an airport. At 01:12 Friday, at least two fatalities were reported in US strikes. The prior update at 07:15 specified the US Air Force had struck five bridges targeting supply lines, as The Zioneer reported.
The latest strikes are part of a broader US air campaign that has hit Iranian air defenses, naval facilities, and command centers over five previous nights, as The Zioneer has reported. Iran has retaliated with drone strikes on US bases in Kuwait, Bahrain, and a base in Syria, according to reports in the thread. Israeli security officials assessed that Tehran does not want to involve Israel but warned of a heavy price.
The report remains unverified by independent sources. The specific locations of the airport and the five bridges, the full casualty count, and the extent of damage are not independently confirmed.
