Hind Al Soulia - Riyadh - DUBAI — The US military said it completed the 11th night of strikes on Iran early Wednesday, as Tehran warned Washington against targeting its nuclear facilities.
US Central Command said targets included aircraft hangars and drone storage sites. The newest barrage came after President Donald Trump said strikes against Iran would be intensifying.
Attacks across the Middle East overshadowed diplomatic efforts in Pakistan to salvage an interim ceasefire deal that has collapsed.
Before the latest strikes, Iranian Interior Minister Eskandar Momeni visited Pakistan, a key mediator in the conflict, seeking to revamp diplomacy. But it was unclear what new arrangement might be reached to end the war, which lately has become a battle for control over the Strait of Hormuz, a waterway vital to world energy supplies.
Speaking from the Oval Office on Tuesday, Trump gave a dim view on possible talks, saying the US had “no interest in meeting.” He signaled that US forces could soon target an area of Iran close to one of its main sites for enriching uranium.
With negotiations and shipping through the Strait of Hormuz largely stalled, both sides have sought to gain leverage by targeting civilian infrastructure in the region relied on by millions of people.
The barrage of US strikes hasn’t loosened Iran’s grip on the strait, through which about one-fifth of the world’s oil and natural gas was shipped before the war.
The US continued its airstrikes into Wednesday, with Iranian air defenses activating near the capital, Tehran. Iran’s state-run IRNA news agency reported that explosions rocked Bushehr, East Azerbaijan, Hamadan, Hormozgan, Khuzestan and Sistan and Baluchistan provinces.
That came after Iran attacked a tanker in the strait Tuesday, forcing the crew to abandon the ship. Iran also kept up attacks against US allies in the region. Iran also launched attacks against Bahrain, Jordan and Kuwait.
Iranian state media reported that air defences were activated in the capital Tehran. Explosions were also reported in Tabriz, Chabahar, Konarak, and in Bushehr, home to Iran's only nuclear power plant.
Iran, which has retaliated against the US and its Middle East allies, warned of reprisals after Trump said the US would soon hit an underground nuclear site near Natanz.
Iran and the US agreed a ceasefire in April, but hostilities resumed last week as both countries battled over control of the vital Strait of Hormuz waterway.
Centcom said US forces had targeted Iranian military operations centres, maritime capabilities, aircraft hangars, drone storage facilities, and military logistics infrastructure.
It also accused Iran of attacking "more than 30 commercial vessels" passing through the Strait of Hormuz over the past three months.
"The unwarranted attacks have endangered hundreds of innocent mariners and undermined freedom of navigation," it said, adding the waterway remained "open for commercial vessel transit".
Kuwait's army said early on Wednesday morning that its air defenses were engaging with drone attacks from Iran, while Bahrain and Jordan said they had also intercepted drone and missile strikes.
Earlier the US presidentsaid the next military target could be a complex known as Pickaxe Mountain, an underground nuclear site where Iran is suspected of building an undeclared enrichment facility.
"We'll be hitting that area pretty soon, and very heavily," Trump said, addressing reporters during a White House meeting with Lebanese President Joseph Aoun.
He added that he would not normally announce targets but "there's not a thing they can do about it".
Iran's Khatam Al-Anbiya military command said it would consider such an attack "as an expansion of war in the region", threatening strikes on "all the interests of America, the allies and supporters", state-run broadcaster IRIB reported.
Trump also threatened to "take care of" the Houthi rebels if the Iran-backed militant group in Yemen followed through on its threatened blockade of Saudi Arabian ports.
A Houthi media official had earlier said they were closing the Bab al-Mandab Strait in the Red Sea.
The threat from the Houthis risks further disruption to international shipping, with hostilities in the region having already led to global fuel prices fluctuating significantly.
Iran and the US signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) in June to halt military operations and reopen the Strait of Hormuz, as well as to reach an agreement to end the war over the following 60 days.
But three weeks after it was signed, Trump declared the ceasefire "over" after Iranian attacks on ships in Hormuz, and US strikes in response.
The war with Iran has cost the US some $37.5bn (£28bn) so far - a rise of nearly $8bn since the last estimate in May, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said on Tuesday.
Appearing before the Senate Appropriations Committee, Hegseth said military training would have to be curtailed unless lawmakers approved an urgent funding boost.
