The US continued its airstrikes on Iran for a sixth consecutive night, striking civilian infrastructure early on Friday, Iranian state media reported, adding that at least seven people were killed.
The US airstrikes struck bridges in Bandar Khamir, an Iranian coastal city on the Strait of Hormuz, state TV wrote on Telegram.
Iranian media also reported that the US struck the Iranshahr airport, as well as a train station in Bandar Abbas.
The US Central Command (CENTCOM) confirmed it hit dozens of targets in its latest airstrikes.
"US forces, including fighter jets, aerial drones, and warships, launched precision munitions that hit dozens of Iranian military targets such as coastal surveillance and air defence sites, military logistics infrastructure, and maritime capabilities," it wrote in a statement.
Meanwhile, Iran launched strikes on Bahrain and Kuwait, saying it had targeted US military infrastructure.
"The attacks were in response to the crimes of the arrogant enemy and in revenge for the blood of the martyrs of the homeland," Iranian state TV reported.
Qatar also reported incoming attacks early Friday, with explosions reported as the defence ministry said its army intercepted incoming missiles. Authorities said one child was wounded by falling debris.
Speaking in a primetime address to the public on Thursday, US President Donald Trump said the US was "winning big in Iran".
"You will see the fruits of that labour very, very shortly," he added.
In recent months, Trump has repeatedly said that the Iran war was nearing an end. However, the prospects of an agreement between the two seem distant, as the latest escalation in fighting has ended the interim deal to end the Iran war and returned an all-out war to the region.
On Wednesday, the US military resumed its air strikes against Iran in broad daylight, as Washington said it was intensifying its campaign aimed at limiting Tehran’s ability to threaten commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz.
The strait was initially closed following the outbreak of the war on 28 February, sending the price of oil, fertiliser and other goods soaring far beyond the region, giving Tehran major leverage in negotiations.
