- The US military carried out strikes on Iran for a 12th consecutive night, stating the operations will "further degrade" Iran's military capabilities, per the Fox News headline.
- Trump threatened strikes on bridges while the US deployed a B-1 bomber as attacks on Iran intensified, per Al Jazeera and Axios headlines.
Why it matters: A 12-night sustained campaign with a B-1 strategic bomber in the mix shows the US widening its toolset, and Trump naming bridges as a target category — typically civilian infrastructure — marks a deliberate escalation in declared target scope beyond purely military sites.
