- U.S. Central Command announced a new wave of strikes on Iran early Thursday, marking the 12th consecutive day of attacks.
- Iranian state media reported that a missile strike hit the province that is home to Iran's only operating nuclear power plant.
Why it matters: For Iran, a missile strike hitting the province housing its sole operating nuclear power plant marks an escalation toward critical nuclear infrastructure, raising risks of radiological fallout while U.S. Central Command shows no sign of pausing its 12-day campaign.
