US-Israeli strikes hit Iran's Kharg island, bridges, key highway and railway
U.S.-Israeli strikes have hit the key Iranian oil export terminal of Kharg island, media reported Tuesday.
"The American-Zionist enemy has carried out several attacks on Kharg island, and several explosions have been heard there," Iran's Mehr news agency reported.
According to an X post by journalist Barak Ravid of the news site Axios, citing a U.S. official, the U.S. carried out "strikes on military targets" on the island located off Iran's western coast.
Iranian officials reported Tuesday damage to at least two bridges, railway infrastructure and a key highway in northern Iran connecting the city of Tabriz with Tehran via Zanjan.
The highway was hit around 90 kilometers outside of Tabriz, Iran's main northern city, the official IRNA news agency said, quoting the crisis management office of the northern East Azerbaijan province.
A Telegram channel of Iran's Revolutionary Guards said the strike hit an overpass bridge.
The Israeli military said it had completed a broad wave of strikes targeting "infrastructure sites" across Iran, without providing details of what the sites were.
"A short while ago, the IDF completed a wide-scale wave of strikes targeting dozens of infrastructure sites belonging to the Iranian terror regime in several areas across Iran," the military said in a statement.
