US launches sixth night of airstrikes on Iran, hitting bridges and infrastructure

In mid-July 2026, the US military carried out a sixth consecutive night of airstrikes on Iran, expanding its campaign to hit bridges, an airport, a railway station, and a port tower. Reports indicate that at least six bridges were struck, and the attacks also spread to targets in Syria and Iraq. Iran retaliated by striking a desalination plant, raising fears of further escalation. The US strikes are part of an ongoing conflict that began with earlier exchanges, and the Trump administration has not signaled a halt to the operations.
