US forces struck areas around Tehran for the first time on Thursday. They disabled a merchant ship accused of attempting to breach Washington's naval blockade, marking a major expansion of military pressure on Iran.
The latest American strikes reached areas surrounding Tehran, extending the campaign beyond previous targets and signaling a broader military strategy.
The expansion came after "the US resumed daylight strikes on Wednesday, increasing the pace of operations," the report stated.
US Central Command said an earlier attack on Greater Tunb Island targeted Iranian defense and missile sites at the strategically vital Strait of Hormuz.
US attacks Iran for seventh consecutive night
CENTCOM said its forces "hit surveillance sites, military logistics infrastructure, underground weapons storage, and maritime capabilities."
Friday's strikes marked a week of renewed hostilities, with the US reimposing a blockade on Iranian ports and Tehran declaring the Strait of Hormuz closed after a preliminary deal to end the war collapsed less than a month after it was signed.
