US strikes in Iran hit airport, bridges and railway station

Overnight U.S. airstrikes struck key infrastructure in southern Iran, including an airport, a railway station in the port city of Bandar Abbas, and two bridges in the Hormozgan Province near the Strait of Hormuz, Iranian state media reported Friday.

Three explosions were heard around the airport and at least one American enemy projectile hit Iranshahr airport.

State television IRIB reported on Telegram that "three explosions were heard around the airport and at least one American enemy projectile hit Iranshahr airport" in the southeast. Mehr news agency reported on Telegram that the Bandar Abbas Railway Junction Station was targeted, resulting in two Iranians injured. Official reports indicated airstrikes on two bridges in Hormozgan Province, citing IRNA news agency as stating two people died and four were injured.

Bandar Abbas is a critical location, hosting Iran's largest port and significant naval and Revolutionary Guards facilities, situated along the Strait of Hormuz. The U.S. military stated it launched a sixth consecutive night of strikes on Thursday, aiming "to further degrade Iranian military capabilities."

A few minutes ago, the Bandar Abbas Railway Junction Station was targeted by the American enemy. According to this report, two Iranians were injured in the attack.

This escalation follows a week of intensifying exchanges between the U.S. and Iran, which has largely undone a truce established last month. On Wednesday, the U.S. conducted two major waves of airstrikes against Iran, primarily targeting its southern coast. Iran has responded with missiles and drones aimed at U.S. military bases in neighboring countries, including a recently expanded air base in Jordan, which Iran claimed was used in a U.S. attack on an Iranian children's cancer hospital.

Two people had died and four were injured.

Amidst the heightened conflict, Iran has largely halted traffic through the Strait of Hormuz, resuming its blockade. Washington, in turn, blockaded Iranian ports starting Wednesday. Sources told Reuters that Iran has signaled it might direct its Houthi allies in Yemen to close the Bab al-Mandeb strait if Washington attacks Iran's infrastructure. Despite the escalating attacks, President Trump had previously welcomed the release of a U.S. citizen detained in Iran as a gesture of goodwill, a claim that Iran's judiciary challenged on Thursday, stating no American prisoner had been released or exchanged.
