Overview
- Trump, who posted strike footage late Thursday, said the U.S. “hasn't even started” and named bridges and power plants as next targets after a Tehran–Karaj bridge strike that Iranian media said killed 8 and wounded 95.
- Israel reported fresh Iranian missile salvos on Friday as Kuwait engaged drones and missiles and a refinery fire was reported following an attack.
- The push at the Security Council to authorize “all necessary measures” to protect navigation has faltered as China, Russia and France objected and a 40‑nation call chaired by Britain yielded no concrete plan.
- Over 100 American legal scholars warned that strikes on civilian sites such as bridges and power plants could violate the laws of war and said recent U.S. statements raise those risks.
- Iran has effectively shut the Strait of Hormuz, oil neared $110 a barrel on Thursday, and hits on Gulf energy sites are squeezing daily life from fuel costs to power cutbacks as aid groups warn medical supplies could run low.
