US conducts seventh night of strikes on Iran, cutting water to southern villages

Washington announced that U.S. forces carried out airstrikes on Iranian bridges and energy installations for the seventh consecutive night, marking a sustained campaign against the country's critical infrastructure. The attacks, conducted by unmanned aircraft and precision‑guided munitions, targeted multiple road bridges and a series of power substations in western Iran, according to statements from the U.S. Central Command. No immediate casualty figures were released, and Iranian authorities have condemned the strikes as violations of international law while vowing a response.

The nightly operations follow a series of escalatory incidents between the United States and Iran, including recent Iranian missile launches toward U.S. assets in the region. U.S. officials said the strikes aim to degrade Iran’s ability to transport military equipment and to disrupt energy supplies that could support hostile activities. Iran’s foreign ministry has called for an emergency session of the United Nations Security Council, urging diplomatic measures to halt what it describes as an unlawful campaign. The situation remains tense as both sides continue to exchange statements, and regional observers warn that further escalation could broaden the conflict.
