Iran Says It Will Continue Attacks on US 'Offensive Infrastructure' as Regional Tensions Escalate

Iran has said it will continue targeting what it describes as US "offensive infrastructure" across the region, as fresh military activity and retaliatory strikes intensified on multiple fronts.

Iran's air defence systems were activated over Tehran on Wednesday, with similar reports emerging from Pakdasht and Parchin, both located near the capital. Authorities have not yet released official details on the nature of the incoming threats.

Further east, strikes were reported in Semnan, where local authorities said parts of the city's airport sustained damage. Explosions were also reported in Khorramabad, adding to the growing list of locations affected by the escalating conflict.

Heavy-Water Facility Area Targeted Again

Fresh attacks were also reported in Khondab in Iran's central Markazi province. The area is strategically significant as it is home to one of Iran's heavy-water facilities. This is not the first time Khondab has come under attack during the current conflict.

Iran Claims to Down US MQ-9 Drone

In southwestern Iran, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) claimed it intercepted and shot down a US MQ-9 drone over Andimeshk in Khuzestan province. Independent verification of the claim was not immediately available.

Explosions Reported Along Southern Coast

The latest developments follow reported US strikes along Iran's southern coastline. Several explosions were reported on Qeshm Island and in the port city of Bandar Abbas. Additional attacks were also reported in Sirik, overlooking the strategically important Strait of Hormuz, and in Konarak in southeastern Iran.

Iran Vows More Retaliatory Operations

Iran said its retaliatory operations remain ongoing. An IRGC spokesperson stated that the current phase is focused on destroying US "offensive infrastructure" across the region and indicated that additional phases of the operation could follow.

The IRGC also issued statements claiming attacks on several US military bases across the region. However, there was no immediate independent confirmation of the extent of the reported attacks or any resulting damage.

The situation remains highly fluid, with both sides continuing military operations amid growing concerns over a broader regional conflict.
