- U.S. forces struck Iranian bridges and water plants overnight into Friday — infrastructure Iran says serves civilian purposes — extending the campaign to a seventh straight day
- Iran reported retaliating by targeting similar civilian infrastructure in Gulf countries that host American military bases, while the U.S. military announced a new round of attacks on Iran that afternoon
Why it matters: Both sides are hitting civilian-adjacent infrastructure now, not just military sites, and Iran's retaliation explicitly targets Gulf countries that host American bases — broadening a bilateral fight into a regional one as the campaign enters its seventh consecutive day.
