New footage published Saturday morning documents damage to the bridge connecting the southern Iranian port city of Bandar Abbas to Shiraz, following the US strikes on the area. The recording shows structural damage to the bridge, which links the port city of Bandar Abbas to the major city of Shiraz. This is the latest in a series of reports documenting strikes on the Bandar Abbas–Shiraz route, which has been a focus of the US campaign against Iranian transport infrastructure.
Early Friday, The Zioneer reported that US forces struck the Kohurestan bridge on the Bandar Abbas–Shiraz route (published at 00:36 Jerusalem). Later Friday, at 19:58 Jerusalem, The Zioneer reported on earlier footage showing the aftermath of US strikes on bridges in Bandar Abbas, including a collapsed bridge. The reports have evolved from unverified claims to multiple sourced footage, but the footage has not been independently verified by independent observers.
The Zioneer has reported extensively on the broader US campaign, including strikes on five bridges, a train station, and an airport in southern Iran, as part of efforts to isolate Bandar Abbas and the Strait of Hormuz. Background reporting from Friday noted a tanker traffic jam near a previously struck bridge in Bandar Abbas, indicating the disruption caused by the strikes.
No casualties have been reported in connection with this specific bridge. The attack has not been officially attributed by Iranian authorities, and the footage has not been independently verified. The extent of damage to the bridge remains unclear, and it is not yet known whether the strike has severed the route entirely.
