Israel’s military also reported a new missile salvo from Iran, with its air defences activated to down them. There were no immediate reports of casualties.

Israeli emergency services reported some damage to houses and cars from an unintercepted cluster missile, while Israeli military radio said a train station in Tel Aviv was damaged by shrapnel.

The Iranian fire came as Trump said the US military “hasn’t even started destroying what’s left in Iran. Bridges next, then Electric Power Plants!” on his Truth Social platform, after saying Iran’s tallest bridge had been destroyed.

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi posted that “striking civilian structures, including unfinished bridges, will not compel Iranians to surrender”.

Meanwhile, over 100 international law experts in the US, including from schools like Harvard, Yale, Stanford and the University of California, said in the letter released on Thursday that the conduct of US forces and statements by senior US officials “raise serious concerns about violations of international human rights law and international humanitarian law, including potential war crimes.”

The experts said they were “seriously concerned about strikes that have hit schools, health facilities, and homes,” noting a strike on a school in Iran on the war’s first day.

The letter particularly noted a mid-March comment from Trump where he said the US may conduct strikes on Iran “just for fun.” It also cited comments from Pentagon chief Pete Hegseth from early March in which he said the US does not fight with “stupid rules of engagement.”

Writing in the US journal Foreign Affairs, Iran’s former top diplomat, Mohammad Javad Zarif, said that Tehran should make a deal with the United States to end the war by offering to curb its nuclear programme and reopen the Strait of Hormuz in exchange for sanctions relief.

Iran has virtually blocked the Strait of Hormuz since the war began, where in peacetime one-fifth of the world’s oil and natural gas passes through. As a result, fuel prices have skyrocketed worldwide.

Iranian military spokesperson Ebrahim Zolfaghari warned that in response to Trump’s threats to attack infrastructure, Iran would increase its own attacks on energy sites in the region, calling on “countries hosting US military bases” to “force the Americans to leave their countries”.

A drone attack on a refinery owned by Kuwait’s national oil company yesterday sparked fires at several of its units, state media said.

An air strike also hit a power and desalination plant in the country. Kuwaiti authorities blamed Iran for the strike. Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) denied responsibility and blamed Israel.
