WASHINGTON, July 16 (Reuters) - The U.S. military said late on Thursday it completed its latest wave of strikes on Iran that were carried ‌out at President Donald Trump's direction and marked a sixth consecutive night ‌of American strikes.

Here are details:

• "U.S. forces, including fighter jets, aerial drones, and warships, launched precision munitions that hit ​dozens of Iranian military targets such as coastal surveillance and air defense sites, military logistics infrastructure, and maritime capabilities," the U.S. Central Command said in a statement.

• On Thursday evening, U.S. projectiles struck Qeshm Island and near Bandar Abbas — home to Iran's largest port and key ‌navy and Revolutionary Guards facilities — ⁠both on the Strait of Hormuz.

• Iranian news outlets also reported U.S. strikes late on Thursday on three bridges and the train ⁠station in coastal Bandar Khamir and a U.S. missile attack on Iranshahr Airport in southeastern Iran. Reuters could not immediately verify the reports.

• Tehran launched missiles and drones targeted at U.S. ​military bases ​in neighbouring states including a recently expanded air ​base in Jordan that Iran said ‌was used in a U.S. attack on an Iranian children's cancer hospital on Wednesday night.

• Trump this week reiterated threats to hit Iranian energy targets while also threatening to target bridges next week.

• The 1949 Geneva Conventions on humanitarian conduct in war prohibit attacks on sites considered essential for civilians.

• After Trump's past threats to strike such targets, ‌international law experts in the U.S. said earlier ​this year such attacks may amount to war crimes.

• ​Trump received widespread condemnation in April ​when he threatened to destroy Iran's entire civilization before reaching a ‌ceasefire with Tehran.

• The Iran war began ​when the U.S. and ​Israel attacked Iran on February 28 and Iran responded with its own strikes on Israel and Gulf states that host U.S. bases.

• U.S.-Israeli strikes on Iran ​and Israeli attacks on Lebanon ‌during the war have killed thousands and displaced millions.

• The war has ​also sent oil prices higher and shaken markets around the world.
