Liveblog: Escalating Conflict Between Iran and the US Sparks Global Concern The situation in the Persian Gulf continues to intensify as the United States and Iran engage in a cycle of escalating military actions, with both sides accusing each other of targeting civilian infrastructure. According to reports from multiple sources, the US has carried out a series of nighttime strikes against Iranian targets, including bridges, airports, and ports, while Iran retaliates with drone and missile attacks across the region. The conflict has drawn attention from international organizations such as the United Nations, whose secretary-general has condemned the targeting of civilian infrastructure as “inacceptable.” Meanwhile, tensions have also risen in the Gaza Strip, where an Israeli airstrike on a mourning gathering left eight Palestinians dead, further complicating the already volatile geopolitical landscape. The US military announced on Friday that it had completed its sixth consecutive night of airstrikes against Iranian military installations, targeting over 50 locations. These strikes were conducted under the command of the US Central Command (Centcom), which stated that the operation aimed to weaken Iran’s military capabilities and hold it accountable for attacks on international shipping through the Strait of Hormuz. Among the targets were key infrastructure sites, including bridges and airfields, which Iran claims were deliberately chosen to harm civilians. The US also claimed to have destroyed a surveillance tower near the Chabahar port in the Gulf of Oman, which it said had long been used by Iran’s Revolutionary Guards to monitor commercial traffic. This move was described as a direct effort to protect the free flow of commerce in the region. In response, Iran accused the US of launching attacks on civilian infrastructure, calling the strikes “unlawful” and “disproportionate.” State-run media reported that the US strikes had resulted in the deaths of seven people in the southern city of Bandar-e Khamir, with nine others injured. The Iranian government also claimed that US attacks had damaged a railway junction in Bandar Abbas and struck an airport in Iranshahr, leading to casualties among civilians. These accusations have intensified calls for restraint from international bodies, with the UN secretary-general expressing deep concern over the continued militarization of the region and the potential for further humanitarian crises. Meanwhile, the conflict has spilled into neighboring countries, with Iran launching missile and drone attacks on US bases in Kuwait and Bahrain. In Qatar, an Iranian missile attack was intercepted, resulting in the injury of a child from debris. The Qatari authorities issued emergency alerts to residents, urging them to take shelter. The attacks have prompted heightened security measures in the Gulf states, with some governments issuing warnings to their citizens about the risks posed by the ongoing hostilities. Amid this turmoil, the Iranian Revolutionary Guard has vowed to continue its attacks until the US ceases its operations in the southern regions of Iran and the Strait of Hormuz. In a statement shared online, the head of the Iranian Air Force’s Revolutionary Guards, Majid Musawi, declared that “effective and targeted attacks from throughout Iran against the enemy will continue until peace returns to the south coast and the Strait of Hormuz.” This rhetoric underscores the deepening hostility between the two nations and suggests that the conflict may soon reach a critical threshold. Adding another layer of complexity to the crisis, the Iranian regime has reportedly directed its regional allies, including Hezbollah in Lebanon, to prepare for a broader conflict involving Israel. Intelligence reports suggest that Iran has informed its proxies that the current phase of strategic patience is ending, and that military readiness must be prioritized. Hezbollah, which has previously attacked Israeli territory, has been ordered to remain vigilant and ready to act should the situation escalate further. This development raises concerns that the conflict could draw in additional actors, potentially expanding the scope of the violence beyond the immediate theater of operations. As the situation unfolds, the international community watches closely, with many fearing that the conflict could lead to a larger regional war. While diplomatic efforts to de-escalate the situation have stalled, the continued exchange of force signals that the path toward resolution remains uncertain. For now, the focus remains on the immediate consequences of these actions, with reports of casualties, infrastructure damage, and growing instability across the region.
