Iran's state-affiliated Tasnim news agency reports that a bridge connecting the southern port city of Bandar Abbas to Shiraz was attacked. The cause and extent of damage are not yet known. The report comes minutes after unverified reports of a strike on a communications tower in Bandar Abbas.
Minutes after The Zioneer reported a suspected US strike on a communications tower in Bandar Abbas, Iran's state-affiliated Tasnim news agency reports that a bridge connecting the city to Shiraz has been attacked. The report does not specify the cause, the attacker, or any damage or casualties. The first unverified reports on social media earlier described a bridge in Bandar Abbas being bombed. The attacks come amid a series of reported strikes on infrastructure in southern Iran in recent weeks, including an airport, a radio station, and an air force base, though many reports remain unconfirmed. The Zioneer has previously covered multiple incidents in the Bandar Abbas area. The extent of the damage to the bridge and its impact on transportation remain unclear at this time.
