US, Iran exchange fresh strikes as Hormuz conflict escalates

The United States and Iran exchanged a new wave of strikes on Saturday, targeting military and infrastructure sites as fighting over the Strait of Hormuz intensified.

Axar.az reports, citing foreign media, that the U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) said its seventh consecutive night of strikes targeted "surveillance sites, military logistics infrastructure, underground weapons storage, and maritime capabilities."

Kuwait said it intercepted Iranian missiles and drones, while Iraq reported shooting down attack drones over the city of Erbil. Jordan's state-run Petra news agency said the country's air defense systems intercepted Iranian missiles, and Bahrain confirmed that air raid sirens had sounded.

U.S. officials also confirmed that 13 additional American service members — 10 Army soldiers and three Navy sailors — have been injured since Monday. According to the reports, 14 U.S. service members have been killed and 427 wounded since the conflict began.
