US strikes on Iran's south hit air defences and coastal infrastructure, Iranian state media says

Late on 7 July 2026, Iranian state television said US strikes around the southern port of Sirik hit a commercial pier, a fishing pier and the village of Ziyarat. A US official said the targets were air-defence radars, coastal surveillance systems, surface-to-air missiles, anti-ship cruise missiles and drone launch sites. Kuwait separately reported an outage of several electrical transmission lines.

Desk note. The wire traffic on this story is, for the moment, almost entirely Iranian state media and a single US official, with a Kuwaiti utility announcement sitting awkwardly alongside. Monexus has reported what each side has said, in the order each side said it, and resisted the temptation to merge the two accounts into a single tidy damage assessment that the underlying reporting does not yet support.
