US Bombs Southern Iran's Bridges and Infrastructure as Tehran Strikes Gulf Neighbors
Deutsche Welle—American airstrikes destroyed key bridges and a tower in southern Iran as the military campaign expanded to explicitly include civilian infrastructure targets. Iran accused the US of hitting civilian sites and responded by expanding retaliatory attacks to Syria and Bahrain, broadening the conflict's geographic reach. Tehran simultaneously vowed to 'crush' regional infrastructure if US strikes against Iranian civilian targets continued. The exchange marks a dangerous widening of both the geographic scope and the types of targets involved.
