The US military said it has launched strikes on Iran for a seventh consecutive night, citing escalating fighting over the Strait of Hormuz, according to an official statement.
The US military confirmed it has launched a seventh consecutive night of strikes on Iran, with the statement noting an escalation in fighting over the strategic Strait of Hormuz. The announcement at 23:22 Jerusalem follows a wave of strikes announced by U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) at 23:13, and reports from i24NEWS that the strikes hit seven bridges and train stations across Iran. The wording of the statement differs from previous nights by explicitly linking the strikes to the Strait of Hormuz, suggesting the campaign is increasingly focused on securing the vital waterway. The confirmation comes as the U.S. campaign enters its seventh day, with the military previously striking Iranian forces in and around the strait in response to the IRGC's actions. The Zioneer reported earlier on the CENTCOM launch and the i24NEWS report on specific targets. The extent of damage and casualties remains unconfirmed.
