US strikes hit Iran for seventh consecutive night

The US military said it carried out the seventh consecutive night of strikes on Iran since President Donald Trump declared their temporary ceasefire agreement “over”.

US Central Command (Centcom) said its forces “hit surveillance sites, military logistics infrastructure, underground weapons storage, and maritime capabilities”.

Iran said it responded by targeting US allies in the region including Kuwait, which said a power plant, water distillation plant and an oil facility had been hit.

On Saturday, Centcom said two US service members had been killed during Friday’s attacks, and one was missing.

Friday’s strikes marked a full week of renewed hostilities which also saw the US reimpose a blockade of Iranian ports and Tehran declare the Strait of Hormuz shut, as their preliminary deal to end the war faltered within a month of its signing.
