The U.S. military struck bridges and a port facility in Iran, targeting rail and road connections between the southern coast and the rest of the country, Iranian state media reported. Strikes also hit a railway station near the Bandar Abbas naval base, Iran’s state broadcaster said. Eight people were killed and 20 others wounded in the U.S. attacks across Iran, the state-run Islamic Republic News Agency reported on Friday. The U.S. military’s Central Command said in a statement early Friday that the latest round of American attacks had “hit dozens of Iranian military targets such as coastal surveillance and air defense sites, military logistics infrastructure and maritime capabilities.” The statement made no mention of civilian infrastructure. Iran has issued one of its strongest warnings since the latest phase of the conflict began, saying it will launch a full-scale offensive if the United States continues its military campaign for another two to three days. The warning comes as fighting intensifies across the Middle East and Iranian forces continue targeting US military assets in the region. Major General Mohsen Rezaei, a senior military adviser to Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei and a former commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), said Tehran is prepared to dramatically escalate the conflict if US attacks persist. Speaking to Iranian state television (IRIB), Rezaei warned that Iran would no longer limit itself to proportional retaliation. "If US strikes continue for several more days, we will move into a phase of full-scale offensive operations," he said. Rezaei added that Iran would no longer be confined to "retaliatory, like-for-like responses" and warned that "no political border will be safe" if the United States continued its military campaign.
