The report said the strikes targeted two bridges in Bandar Khamir County, killing the driver of a car crossing one of the bridges.
In addition, a U.S. strike against a residential area, named Allaho Akbar, in the port city of Bandar Abbas left seven people wounded, the IRIB reported, adding a telecommunications tower was also targeted in the city.
The IRIB also reported six consecutive explosions near Hamidiyeh County in the southwestern Khuzestan province, as well as three explosions near an airport in Iranshahr County in the southeastern Sistan and Baluchestan province. At least one U.S. projectile hit the airport, it added.
Earlier, the semi-official Mehr news agency reported U.S. strikes hitting Bandar Abbas, Qeshm Island, Ahvaz, and Bushehr in southern Iran on Thursday night.
The fresh attacks came as U.S. Central Command announced on social media platform X that “U.S. forces began conducting a new wave of strikes against Iran for the fifth consecutive night to further degrade Iranian military capabilities.”
The developments followed days of clashes between Iran and the United States, despite a peace memorandum of understanding signed by the two countries in mid-June, under which they were expected to begin negotiations within 60 days toward a final agreement.
