- Trump said US attacks on Iran "will continue until I say enough," explicitly naming power plants and bridges as potential targets.
- Iranian media reported explosions across southern cities and on offshore islands, including in the strategic Strait of Hormuz.
- IRGC claimed retaliatory strikes against US forces stationed in Kuwait, Bahrain, and Jordan.
- Cross-coverage consensus: outlets including CNN and Channel News Asia report the US has reimposed a naval blockade of Iranian ports alongside the new air strikes.
Why it matters: Trump placed no end-date on the campaign and added power plants and bridges to the target list, while Iran's IRGC claimed retaliatory strikes against US forces in three named countries — Kuwait, Bahrain, and Jordan — pushing the conflict beyond Iran's borders. Explosions have now reached the Strait of Hormuz, a critical maritime corridor.
