US hits civilian infrastructure as it expands strikes against Iran

The United States has widened its air campaign against Iran, and The Guardian reports the strikes are now hitting civilian infrastructure. On Friday, US airstrikes hit bridges in Iran's southern Hormozgan province, killing at least seven people, according to Iranian state TV cited by the paper; those bridges were a key transit point for Bandar Abbas, Iran's main port. Further strikes brought down a tower at Chabahar port on the Gulf of Oman and targeted electrical infrastructure and Iranshahr airport. The Guardian says Tehran responded with strikes against US allies across the Middle East.
