The latest wave of US strikes on Iran has ended, closing out the sixth consecutive night of operations targeting Iranian military infrastructure.

According to CENTCOM, US forces used fighter jets, drones and warships to hit dozens of targets with precision munitions — including command centers, air defense sites, coastal surveillance facilities, missile and drone capabilities, and military logistics infrastructure around Bandar Abbas and Qeshm Island in the Strait of Hormuz. The stated goal: degrade Iran’s ability to threaten commercial shipping in the waterway.

The campaign expanded deeper into southern Iran this week, with strikes reported on bridges, a train station in Bandar Khamir, and Iranshahr Airport. Iranian state media reported at least 7 killed in those attacks.

Iran responded with missile and drone fire toward US bases in Bahrain, Kuwait and Qatar, and claimed attacks on Gulf energy infrastructure. Kuwait reported damage and fire at a power and desalination plant. Oil prices have risen for 4 straight days to near 1-month highs on fears of Strait of Hormuz disruption.

President Trump signaled strikes could resume on energy targets and bridges next week “unless they get to the table and negotiate,” while also saying a diplomatic resolution remains possible.

With 50,000+ US personnel in the region on alert, markets and allies are watching whether this pause holds or escalates further.
