The US has begun targeting civilian infrastructure in Iran, with the latest round of strikes hitting five bridges, power facilities and a train station in the South of Iran.
Iran’s Fars news agency reported that the southern Hormozgan province’s governorate said US air strikes have hit five bridges. The deliberate targeting of civilian infrastructure during war is considered a war crime by the United Nations. However, this has not deterred American President Donald Trump from announcing that his military would do so.
At least two people were killed and four injured by US strikes on the Garveh bridge, which connects Bandar Abbas to Khmeir.
On Thursday night, the US Army carried out major strikes on Iran for the sixth night in a row. By Friday morning, Iran had carried out retaliatory strikes on US bases in the Middle East, including, for the first time, a US base in Syria.
