Washington denies allegations of targeting civilian infrastructure in Iran
The US military on Saturday denied Iranian accusations of targeting civilian infrastructure during the recent raids on Iran, stressing that its operations focused on facilities used by the Revolutionary Guard to threaten regional navigation. This came after Iranian media reported that the US strikes hit electricity and desalination plants, bridges, and roads in the south of the country.
This exchange comes as the US air campaign enters its seventh consecutive night, with growing disagreement between Washington and Tehran over the nature of the targets being struck inside Iranian territory, and whether they are limited to military installations or have extended to vital facilities providing civilian services.
The US military said the reports about targeting civilian infrastructure were "incorrect," stressing that the strikes targeted facilities used by the Iranian Revolutionary Guard in operations aimed at navigation in the Gulf.
