US launches new strikes as Iran says civilian infrastructure hit

Later on Friday, Jordan's military said it shot down three Iranian missiles with no casualties or damage reported. Meanwhile in Iraqi Kurdistan, eight people were killed and several injured in the city of Sulaymaniyah in the early morning, according to Kurdish news agency Rudaw and Agence France Press news agency.

Kurdish forces blamed the attack on Iran. Separately, Kuridsh forces said eight drones were also shot down over the city of Erbil, with no casualties reported.

That has impacted the flow of oil from the region and the head of the International Energy Agency, Fatih Birol, says he has concerns about global energy supplies. "We should be worried, and I am worried, if the situation does not improve in the next few weeks," Birol said on Thursday night.

Centcom did not mention bridges in its list of the "dozens of Iranian military targets" it hit in the latest round of strikes. It said jets, drones and ships had attacked "coastal surveillance and air defense sites, military logistics infrastructure, and maritime capabilities". The BBC has asked Centcom for comment.

Iranian state media said Washington targeted Iranshahr Airport in southeastern Iran, a railway station in coastal Bandar Khamir as well as five bridges in the port city. Seven people were killed in the strikes, state news agency IRNA reported.

It added it had "redirected 3 commercial vessels trying to run the blockade". On Friday the United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations reported a tanker had been hit by an unknown projectile on Thursday while sailing near Khasab in Oman. All crew members were reported safe.

As the renewed hostilities further strained the preliminary deal to end the war, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said on Thursday that Trump remained open to talks with Iran. "The president will hold them accountable when they turn their back on the words that they state to the United States.

But he is always open to diplomacy at the very same time," she told reporters. Iran's top negotiator, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, said on Wednesday that Tehran had "no reason" to abide by any agreement that did not benefit the country.

He added that Iran's national security depended on maintaining what he described as "Iranian arrangements" in the Strait of Hormuz. "The United States of America appreciates this gesture of Goodwill by Iran!" Trump wrote on Truth Social.
