Iran Threatens Full-Scale Invasion as US Strikes Enter Seventh Night

The United States Central Command executed seven consecutive nights of strikes against Iranian military capabilities, targeting surveillance sites, logistics infrastructure, and maritime assets. In Hormozgan Province, U.S. attacks on bridges and residential areas in Sirik killed at least eight civilians. The Iranian Health Ministry reports that total U.S. activities have killed 38 civilians and injured over 400 people.

In retaliation, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps launched the 18th wave of Operation Nasr 2, utilizing drones and missiles to strike U.S. installations in Bahrain, Jordan, and Kuwait. Key targets included the Sheikh Isa Air Base in Bahrain and Ali Al Salem Air Base and Camp Arifjan in Kuwait. The attacks in Jordan resulted in the deaths of two U.S. service members, with one reported missing. Additionally, Iranian strikes hit Kuwaiti power and water plants.

Major General Mohsen Rezaei warned that if U.S. strikes continue for another two to three days, Iran will move beyond proportional retaliation into a phase of full-scale offensive operations and annihilation. Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei issued a statement claiming that the collapse of a Pakistan-mediated memorandum of understanding proves President Donald Trump's signature is "utterly worthless and devoid of credibility."

Gulf Cooperation Council Secretary General Jasem Mohamed al-Budaiwi condemned Iran's actions as war crimes and grave violations of international law for targeting civilian infrastructure. The U.S. military continues to maintain a naval blockade of Iranian ports while pursuing the degradation of Iranian military assets.
