The American military said it hit around 90 targets in airstrikes across Iran on Wednesday, after President Donald Trump said he considered the tenuous ceasefire between the two countries over following Iranian attacks on shipping in the Strait of Hormuz.

Tehran retaliated with attacks on U.S. allies across the Middle East — a wave of strikes that sparked alerts in Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait and hours later in Jordan — as the two sides accused each other of violating the terms of their interim deal.

The two days of renewed fighting cast doubt on whether Washington and Tehran remained committed to reaching a final deal to end the war, which was launched by the U.S. and Israel in February.

The U.S. military said Wednesday that it struck “approximately 90 Iranian military targets including air defense systems, coastal surveillance assets, missile and drone storage sites, naval capabilities, and military logistics infrastructure along Iran’s coastline.”

A U.S. official told NBC News that it had not carried out any further strikes on Thursday, contrary to claims by Iranian officials, though the military has been shooting down incoming Iranian projectiles.

There are no reports of any injuries or significant damage to U.S. facilities, and the U.S. and allies shot down nearly all incoming threats, or they failed to reach intended targets, the official said.

Falling debris from interceptions did cause some damage, the official said, including to one non-U.S. building near the U.S. Navy headquarters in Bahrain.

The U.S. strikes on Wednesday targeted places that were allowing the IRGC to resupply locations and reconstitute their attacks, the official said.

But Iranian state media reported multiple explosions in cities across the country’s south, and the Foreign Ministry denounced Wednesday’s strikes as a “grave war crime,” saying they targeted civilian infrastructure including two railway bridges.

It said the bridges that were attacked lie on the route to Mashhad, where officials plan to bury the country’s slain Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei on Thursday. Videos geolocated by NBC News showed a damaged railway bridge in Golestan province, which is between Tehran and Mashhad.

The U.S. official on Thursday denied targeting the Bushehr nuclear power plant, after a local official said an airstrike hit the perimeter of the plant, according to the state-run IRNA news agency.

At least 14 people were killed and another 78 wounded in the two days of U.S. attacks, the Iranian Health Ministry said Thursday in its first overall count of casualties.

There was no immediate response to the Iranian accusations from the Pentagon.

A similar exchange of attacks took place in late June, with an Iranian attack on a commercial ship in the Strait of Hormuz, followed by U.S. military strikes in and around the strait and retaliatory Iranian attacks on Bahrain and Kuwait.
