The Iranian Fars news agency, affiliated with the IRGC, reports that the United States struck a bridge in Bandar Khamir, near Qeshm Island in the Strait of Hormuz. The report is unverified by independent sources.
The Iranian Fars news agency reported at 23:30 Jerusalem that the United States struck a bridge in Bandar Khamir, a town on the coast near Qeshm Island in the Strait of Hormuz. The report comes minutes after a series of earlier reports about bridge strikes in the same region, which The Zioneer has been tracking.
At 23:14 Jerusalem, the desk began reporting on a strike against the Kohorstan bridge in Bandar Abbas, which rapidly escalated: successive reports from Tasnim and other sources detailed a strike on the bridge connecting Bandar Abbas to Shiraz, causing power outages in the Kohran area and halting traffic between the two cities. By 23:30 Jerusalem, Iranian officials confirmed the strike on the Bandar Abbas-Shiraz bridge, according to i24NEWS. Separately, another report at 23:30 Jerusalem indicated a second major bridge between Bandar Abbas and Lar was also bombed.
The strikes are part of a broader US campaign against Iranian infrastructure in the Strait of Hormuz area. As The Zioneer reported on previous days, the US has targeted sites on Qeshm Island and Hengam Island, and Iranian media have reported strikes on seven targets along the southern coast. The IRGC has announced the closure of the Strait of Hormuz to all vessels.
The report on the Bandar Khamir bridge remains unverified by independent sources. It is not yet clear whether the bridge was damaged or if there were casualties. The relationship between this target and the earlier bridge strikes is also unclear.
