CGTN

- US forces struck Iran for a second straight day on Wednesday to "degrade" Tehran’s ability "to threaten freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz," CENTCOM said.

- The strikes hit "approximately 90 Iranian military targets, including air defense systems, coastal surveillance assets, missile and drone storage sites, naval assets, and military logistics infrastructure along Iran's coastline," CENTCOM said on X.

- Fourteen people were killed and 78 wounded in the overnight raids, with a bridge and a railway damaged, Iranian authorities said Thursday.

- Also on Thursday, Iran's Islamic Revolution Guard Corps (IRGC) said it struck US military bases in Kuwait and Bahrain in response.

- The IRGC hit Camp Arifjan and the Ali Al Salem Air Base in Kuwait, as well as US bases in Bahrain's Juffair and Sheikh Isa, "in the first phase of a punitive response against the American treaty-breakers," according to Press TV.
