Iran Accuses US of Attacking Civilian Infrastructure Amid Escalating Tensions

Iran has accused the United States of targeting civilian infrastructure in ongoing strikes, marking the seventh consecutive day of hostilities. Tehran has threatened a full-scale offensive in response to what it describes as continued American aggression.

Reports emerged of aerial activity and potential attacks across several Gulf states, including Kuwait, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, and Oman. Kuwait's army asserted that all explosions heard were from its air defense systems intercepting incoming drones. Iran's Revolutionary Guard claimed their targets were US-affiliated military facilities.

If the attacks continue for two or three days, we will enter a phase of full-scale offensive.

US Central Command confirmed a new round of strikes, stating their objective was to "weaken Iran's military capabilities on the order of the commander-in-chief." Iran alleges that bridges, a train station, and an airport were hit. These accusations come as traffic in the Strait of Hormuz remains significantly restricted, with Iran claiming two oil tankers caught fire after hitting mines, an assertion the US military command denied.

Like most claims from the Revolutionary Guard, this is incorrect.
