Iranian officials reported fresh US attacks on several provinces on Friday, as military operations expanded across the country and targeted infrastructure in the south and west.
An assistant governor of Lorestan said the United States launched an attack on the city of Veysian in western Iran.
Meanwhile, Iran's Mehr News Agency reported several explosions at Bandar Lengeh Port in the southern province of Hormozgan.
An assistant governor of Bushehr said US attacks had resumed against the southern province, while Iranian state television reported that one civilian was injured and that electrical facilities and a fuel storage tank at Iranshahr Airport were damaged in the strikes.
Iran's Ministry of Energy also announced that US attacks damaged power transmission lines in Bandar Abbas and surrounding villages, with repair crews deployed to restore electricity.
Civilians killed due to US strikes
The death toll from the US attack on roads and bridges serving Khomir Port in southern Iran has risen to seven people, while nine others were injured, according to Iran's Mehr News Agency.
The agency reported that the casualties resulted from US strikes targeting infrastructure linked to the port in Hormozgan province.
The latest casualties come amid an ongoing US military campaign targeting sites across Iran, including civilian infrastructure, military facilities, and strategic locations.
Iran has vowed to retaliate against the attacks, with senior military officials warning that any further US aggression will be met with swift and proportional responses. Iranian officials have also reiterated that continued escalation could affect maritime security in the Strait of Hormuz, a vital route for global energy shipments.
US threats will be met with crushing response
Iran warned on Thursday that it would destroy infrastructure across the region if the United States carries out threats to target the Islamic Republic's critical infrastructure, while reiterating that it will not allow Washington to interfere in the Strait of Hormuz.
Speaking on behalf of Iran's Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters, spokesperson Lieutenant Colonel Ebrahim Zolfaghari said the United States "continues its arrogance and destabilization of the region," stressing that Iran "will not allow, under any circumstances or in any form, the United States, as a country from outside the region, to intervene in the Strait of Hormuz," saying that the issue is "an unbreakable red line".
Zolfaghari warned that if US President Donald Trump follows through on recent threats to target Iranian infrastructure, "everything that has remained intact until now, namely the infrastructure across the region, will be crushed under the strikes of the Iranian armed forces until nothing remains."
He added that Iran's response would not be proportional, saying the country's armed forces would deliver "a superior strike, more severe, broader, and more destructive than ever before," while warning that "the fire of the anger of a people who have never surrendered will burn the aggressor."
