U.S. strikes bridges around key port in Iran, expanding campaign in battle over Hormuz - NBC News

The United States struck bridges and key infrastructure in southern Iran late Friday, marking the seventh consecutive night of attacks aimed at pressuring Tehran to relinquish control of the Strait of Hormuz.
U.S. Central Command said the strikes hit surveillance sites, military logistics infrastructure, underground weapons storage, and maritime capabilities, using fighter aircraft, aerial drones, and warships while enforcing a naval blockade of Iranian ports.
The latest campaign appeared aimed at cutting off the main port city of Bandar Abbas from the rest of Iran, expanding the scope of the ongoing offensive.
Iran retaliated with new attacks on U.S. allies in the region, including a first direct strike on a Syrian base and an attack on water infrastructure in Kuwait.
Iran's Revolutionary Guards claimed they halted four ships in the Strait of Hormuz using a combined missile and drone operation, according to the semiofficial Tasnim news agency, though the U.S. military did not immediately respond to the claim.
The collapse of a ceasefire and interim agreement has driven repeated strikes and counterstrikes, largely halting traffic in the waterway and raising fears for the global economy, while President Donald Trump insisted in a primetime address that the U.S. was "winning big in Iran."
