Iranian state media is reporting that three people were killed by the US strikes overnight.

The deputy governor of Khuzestan, in the south west, said more were injured in attack near Ahvaz.

Iranian media reported strikes primarily along Iran’s southern coast, from the Strait of Hormuz to the Gulf of Oman.

Among the locations hit were Bandar Abbas, home to Iran’s largest port and key navy and Revolutionary Guards facilities on the Strait of Hormuz, as well as Konarak and Chabahar, neighbouring coastal cities near Iran’s border with Pakistan.

Electricity had been restored to most areas of Chabahar after strikes knocked out power for some in the city, Mehr news agency reported, citing the local utility. Media also reported that a maritime traffic control tower in Chabahar was hit.

A firefighter was killed in a strike on the airport in the southeastern city of Iranshahr, state media reported. In northern Iran, a U.S. attack hit a railway bridge near the town of Aqqala, according to Press TV.

Kuwaitis have again been told not to share footage of the overnight attacks on social media.

In a statement on X, the army tells citizens not to take or share photos or videos of missiles or drones being intercepted.

Citizens are also told not to approach the sites of fallen shrapnel.

The US military said it struck 90 sites across Iran this morning, saying the operation was aimed at degrading Tehran’s ability to target shipping in the Strait of Hormuz.

After explosions were reported in coastal areas across southern Iran, missile sirens sounded across Gulf nations warning of potential retaliatory strikes from Tehran.

The US continued carrying out airstrikes against Iran after president Donald Trump declared on Wednesday that the ceasefire between the two nations was “over” in the wake of Iranian attacks on commercial vessels in the strait.

The president wrote on social media on Wednesday that the strikes were “retribution for yesterday’s bombing of ships by Iran”, warning that attacks could “get much worse” if hostilities continued.

He told reporters onboard Air Force One that Iran had reached out recently and claimed that Tehran still wanted to make a deal “so badly”. Iran hasn’t confirmed any such overtures.

The resumption of attacks came as the president said he was “not sure” if he wanted to make a deal with Tehran going forward.

Asked why he now viewed Iran’s leadership as “scum”, the US president told the Nato summit in Turkey that he “got to know ‘em”.

Iran has criticised Nato secretary general Mark Rutte over his support for recent US strikes, accusing him of admitting Europe’s role in the conflict.

Foreign ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei said European countries that allowed the use of their military bases and infrastructure for the campaign were complicit in what he called an “unprovoked aggression” against Iran.

His remarks came after Rutte described the latest US attacks as “absolutely necessary” and said thousands of US military aircraft had operated from European bases during the war.

“Mark Rutte’s repeated admissions of Europe’s willful complicity in the US-Israeli war of aggression against Iran only confirms, once again, that they were not impartial in this brutal unlawful aggression. Those who provided their territories, military bases, and infrastructure to enable the aggression cannot evade responsibility for their contribution to an unprovoked aggression and its grave consequences,” he wrote on X.

Commercial vessel movement through the Strait of Hormuz has dropped significantly after the US carried out a second day of strikes on Iran, according to Bloomberg News.

Using ship-tracking data, the report said only a handful of large vessels were moving through the strategic waterway, including a US-sanctioned supertanker leaving the Gulf and an Iranian-flagged container ship.

Bloomberg said just 14 cargo ships passed through the strait in both directions on Wednesday, the lowest daily total since the US and Iran signed their memorandum of understanding in mid-June.

By comparison, the waterway had averaged around 34 cargo vessel transits a day during the three weeks after the interim agreement came into effect.

The coffin of Iran’s slain supreme leader is being transported from the Iraqi city of Najaf to Mashhad in northeastern Iran ahead of his burial later today, according to the Mehr news agency.

The transfer marks the final stage of six days of funeral ceremonies held across Iran and Iraq, including in the holy cities of Najaf and Karbala.

Mohammad Mohammadi Golpayegani, head of Khamenei’s office, said the late leader had requested to be buried in Mashhad, near the shrine of Imam Reza.
