The military command CENTCOM writes on X that the US launched a series of attacks against Iran to decimate the country's military capabilities.
Meanwhile, Mohsen Rezaei, military adviser to Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, says that Tehran is ready to resume full-scale offensive operations if the US continues its attacks for another two or three days.
"Iran will no longer limit itself to retaliation with comparable responses... and no political borders will be safe," he said, according to state television channel IRIB.
Infrastructure attacked
Iran accuses the US of targeting the country's civilian infrastructure, such as bridges, roads, energy facilities and ports. On X, US Secretary of War Pete Hegseth shares a picture that, according to the AP, shows how a guard tower at the port of Chabahar on the Gulf of Oman appears to collapse.
Iranian authorities say 46 people were killed and over 400 injured in the US attacks.
In response, Iran has carried out missile and drone attacks against US allies, including Qatar and Kuwait, where a power and desalination plant has suffered major damage.
The US says 13 military personnel have been injured - ten Army soldiers and three Marines - since Monday.
Attacked Iraqi Kurdistan
Nine people were killed in Iranian drone and missile attacks in Iraqi Kurdistan on Friday, Kurdish forces said, as the region's prime minister called on Tehran to stop the "unjustified attacks."
Iran's Revolutionary Guards claim they also attacked an air base in Jordan, destroying several US tankers and fighter jets. According to the Iranian state-run Fars news agency, the US al-Udeid air base in Qatar and a US command center in southern Syria have been subjected to Iranian "surprise attacks", as well as radar facilities in Oman. However, a Syrian military source who spoke to AFP denied the alleged attack on Syria.
Revolutionary Guard warns
The US has recently reimposed its naval blockade of Iranian ports. The US military has also rejected three merchant ships and put one ship “out of commission”, the military command CENTCOM said on X.
The Revolutionary Guard warns that "no oil or gas" will be allowed to pass through the Strait of Hormuz as long as US attacks continue, Reuters reports.
