The Iranians also carrying out attacks on America's Gulf allies as the regime threatens to carry out a full-scale offensive. 
>> Madelaine Rivera is live in Washington with the details. Good morning, Maddie. 
>> Hi, good morning. That's right, guys. 
The US and Iran are accusing each other of now attacking civilian targets. 
The US has hit roads and bridges around Bandar Abbas, a strategic port city near the Strait of Hormuz. 
Their aim is to isolate the IRGC from re-supplying. 
CENTCOM touted the destruction of one observation tower in particular, which they say significantly weakens the IRGC's ability to coordinate attacks on ships. 
The US is denying Iran's claim that it's hitting civilian infrastructure, arguing it's been striking military targets with one goal in mind. 
>> I think what we're in the process of doing is making it impossible for the regime to control the Strait of Hormuz from that same landmass, from the islands, from from the littoral area that borders the strait itself, and then further inland where the roads and bridges and railroads are at. Their ability to move supplies not only around the country, but into and out of the country. 
>> On the other hand, the US says Iran has been the bad actor carrying out these attacks on civilian ships and damaging a water desalination plant in Kuwait.
