Purported video showing severe damage to a bridge near Bandar Abbas, Iran, following recent U.S. airstrikes in the region has emerged, though remains unverified.

The reported damage comes a day after Iranian Armed Forces spokesman Brig. Gen. Mohammad Akraminia warned that any U.S. attacks on Iranian infrastructure would be met with strikes against infrastructure across the Gulf region, describing such a response as broader and more destructive than previous attacks.

The Islamic Resistance in Iraq, an Iran-aligned militia umbrella group, has released a statement announcing a $10 million bounty for anyone who kills President Donald J. Trump.

The statement accuses Trump of responsibility for the 2020 strike that killed Qassem Soleimani and Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis, describing the reward as being funded through donations from the group's supporters.

The announcement comes amid rapidly escalating regional tensions, as the U.S. continues airstrikes against Iranian targets and Iran-backed groups across the Middle East have intensified threats against U.S. interests.

CENTCOM has released imagery of U.S. Marines with the 11th Marine Expeditionary Unit (MEU) conducting a verification boarding of the tanker M/T Wen Yao in the Gulf of Oman as part of enforcement of the ongoing U.S. naval blockade against Iran.

According to CENTCOM, U.S. forces have now redirected three commercial vessels attempting to reach Iranian ports, disabled one non-compliant vessel, and boarded one vessel to verify compliance with the blockade.

The 11th MEU is embarked aboard the USS Boxer Amphibious Ready Group (ARG), consisting of the USS Boxer (LHD-4), USS Portland (LPD-27), and USS Comstock (LSD-45), which continues to support maritime security and blockade enforcement operations in the region.

As the United States and Iran continue exchanging strikes tonight, including reported U.S. strikes on multiple bridges near Bandar Abbas and Iranian missile and drone attacks targeting U.S. assets in Bahrain, Iraq, and Kuwait, the current aerial picture over the region, based on aircraft visible via FlightRadar24, includes a U.S. Navy P-8A "Poseidon", multiple U.S. Air Force KC-135 "Stratotankers" and KC-46A "Pegasus" aerial refueling aircraft, as well as an unidentified U.S. Air Force aircraft orbiting over the United Arab Emirates (UAE).

This represents only a portion of the overall air picture, as many military aircraft are not visible on public flight-tracking services. Additional U.S. military aircraft are almost certainly operating throughout the region.

U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) announced that at 9:40 p.m. ET, U.S. forces completed their latest major wave of strikes against Iran, marking the sixth consecutive night of operations aimed at degrading Tehran's ability to threaten commercial shipping in the region.

According to CENTCOM, U.S. fighters, unmanned aircraft, and warships employed precision-guided munitions to strike Iranian coastal surveillance and air defense sites, military logistics infrastructure, and maritime capabilities.

After reportedly being targeted earlier this week during U.S. airstrikes on Iran's Chabahar maritime control tower, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth has released an image showing the structure collapsing during today's latest wave of strikes.

Based on the duration and scope of today's operations, this appears to have been the most extensive and intense day of the renewed U.S. air campaign against Iran.

Iranian state media outlet IRNA is claiming that the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) carried out a surprise attack on a U.S. Special Operations compound in the al-Tanf area of Syria, alleging that several helicopters and a radar system were destroyed and that "a large number of Americans" were killed or wounded.

If confirmed, it would mark the first known Iranian attack on U.S. forces in Syria during the current war.

It should be noted that IRNA serves as a state media outlet for the Iranian government, and casualty and battle damage claims made by Iranian state media and the IRGC have frequently proven to be exaggerated or inaccurate during past conflicts.
