Bridges and airport hit in US attacks on Iran

Iranian media reported that several bridges and an airport in Iran were struck in U.S. attacks, coinciding with U.S. military announcements of intercepting a tanker and redirecting three others. The state broadcaster Irib reported that "three explosions could be heard from the area around the airport," and at least one "hostile American projectile" hit the airport in Iranshahr. Additionally, two bridges were reportedly hit in airstrikes near the village of Kohourestan and the Shor River in Bandar Khamir county.

Simultaneously, the U.S. Central Command (Centcom) issued a statement detailing its actions in the Gulf of Oman. Centcom reported that U.S. forces boarded the oil tanker Wen Yao to ensure compliance with the U.S. blockade against Iran. The statement also indicated that another ship, which failed to adhere to the blockade of Iranian ports, was "rendered harmless," and three other vessels were redirected for attempting to breach the blockade. Centcom did not elaborate on the circumstances surrounding the "rendered harmless" ship, a term previously used for a tanker attacked with Hellfire missiles earlier in the week.

These developments follow threats made by U.S. President Donald Trump in a Fox News interview. Trump warned that bridges and power plants in Iran could become targets for American attacks if Iran refused to return to the negotiating table for a deal with the U.S. "Next week is going to be very bad for them, because next week the power plants are coming. Next week the bridges are coming. We're going to take out all of their power plants. We're going to take out all of their bridges, unless they sit down and negotiate," Trump stated.

Iran has responded by threatening to attack civilian infrastructure throughout the region in retaliation for the escalating U.S. actions. The situation remains tense as both nations engage in military actions and diplomatic threats.
