Seven killed as US widens air campaign against Iran, targets more bridges as Hormuz crisis deepens

The United States has significantly expanded its military campaign against Iran by targeting bridges in the country's south, marking a major shift in its strategy against Tehran. At least seven people were killed as the latest strikes came on Friday morning amid President Donald Trump's repeated warnings that Washington could begin attacking critical infrastructure if Iran refused to loosen its grip over the strategically crucial Strait of Hormuz. The escalation triggered another round of retaliation from Iran, which launched fresh missile attacks against US-allied countries in the Middle East and warned that its military response would intensify if the conflict continued.
