U.S. Targets Iranian Regime’s Logistical Network, Striking Bridges and Airport
CENTCOM: “Military logistics infrastructure” targeted in a “major wave of strikes against Iran.”
President Donald Trump appears to be making good on his threat to strike Iran’s logistical network, as regime-run media reports airstrikes on roads, bridges and an airport in the south of the country. “The US may have begun hitting bridges after Donald Trump threatened to start striking infrastructure to pressure Tehran,” Sky News (UK) noted Friday. “The latest US attacks overnight targeted bridges in the south of Iran, state news agency IRNA reported.”
The strikes seem to be targeting Iran’s ability to move troops and weaponry. Citing regime-controlled news outlets, the BBC reported that “bridges, a train station and an airport were hit.”
The latest round of strikes is consistent with the U.S. strategy of targeting Iran’s military-related infrastructure. In early April, a joint U.S.-Israeli strike hit a key bridge connecting Tehran to Karaj city. The bridge, the tallest in the Middle East, was being used to transport components of ballistic missiles and attack drones.

U.S Central Command (CENTCOM) on Thursday night confirmed that it targeted the regime’s “military logistics infrastructure,” in what it described as a “major wave of strikes against Iran.”
According to CENTCOM, “U.S. forces, including fighter jets, aerial drones, and warships, launched precision munitions that hit dozens of Iranian military targets such as coastal surveillance and air defense sites, military logistics infrastructure, and maritime capabilities.”

Secretary of War Pete Hegseth shared a picture on X of a crumbling control tower apparently hit in a U.S. strike. News reports suggest that it could be the maritime control tower in the southern Iranian city of Chabahar.

The U.S strikes are in retaliation for Iranian attempts to control the Strait of Hormuz and unprovoked missile and drone attacks on neighbouring Arab states. Iran, on Friday, hit a water and power plant in Kuwait, a predominantly desert country.
“Iran launched new missile attacks against U.S.-allied nations in the Middle East, including Qatar, a key mediator in the war. It also damaged a power and water desalination plant in Kuwait — something crucial in the small, desert nation,” the Associated Press reported.

One interesting note: so far as I know, Iran has not targeted Israel. I wonder why?
My thoughts exactly. But I guess we know the answer
Maybe not, because there are two possible explanations, so it can be one or the other or a combination of both. One, they have few remaining long range missiles, and two, they know they will face a devastating response, including elimination of their leadership.
Three: They only have a few long-range missiles left and theyre thiiiiiis close to having a A bomb and they’re saving them til they can deliver to Israel.
I highly doubt it. Nothing happens in Iran without the juices knowing.
Trump “appears to be making good” on his threat….
No, he doesn’t “appear to be….” anything. He is DOING what he said he would do. Get it right.
I would remind Iran about the Iraq war. FAFO. They got away with way to much during that war.
These are love taps. They haven’t targeted power stations, ports, oil fields, media outlets, dams, water desalination plants, or government buildings. At least not yet,
How about targeting the Iranian drones and the storage facilities?
That has been done by both Israel and the US. They can make more drones though. Also a lot of that crap is underground and some probably haven’t been discovered yet.
