Additional documentation published by an Iranian source and relayed by Abu Ali Express shows the railway and bridge near the southern Iranian port city of Bandar Abbas that were attacked by the US military overnight. The same source recommended striking the bridge at multiple points to prevent quick repairs.
New footage published at 18:38 Jerusalem by an Iranian source via the Abu Ali Express channel shows the railway bridge near Bandar Abbas damaged after the overnight US strikes. The source recommended striking the bridge at multiple points rather than a single point, claiming Iran can repair damage quickly, adding a tactical recommendation to the visual confirmation. This follows earlier reports of a tanker traffic jam at the bridge (15:28 Jerusalem) and documentation of railway lines attacked approximately 10 km from Bandar Abbas (17:40 Jerusalem), both reported by The Zioneer.
The Zioneer first reported on the strikes overnight Friday at 00:36 Jerusalem, with initial reports of the Kohurestan bridge on the Bandar Abbas–Shiraz route being hit. Throughout the early hours, the desk reported on multiple bridges, including the Khorasan bridge, and by 00:36 had aggregated reports of six bridges, a railway station, and an airport being struck, with security analyst Yair Goldblatt assessing that IRGC naval assets and radar systems were also hit. The corroboration evolved from single unverified reports to multiple sources, including Iranian state television and the semi-official Fars agency, which reported five bridges struck. Later in the day, at 16:57 Jerusalem, the desk reported a US strike on an IRGC base in Rask, southeast Iran, with heavy damage.
The strikes are part of a broader US campaign against Iranian infrastructure. As The Zioneer reported on Thursday, Iranian media claimed an exchange of fire between the IRGC and US Navy near Bandar Abbas. Earlier this month, the IRGC threatened a swift response to US strikes near Sirik, and an IRGC-affiliated analysis called for strikes on Haifa and Jebel Ali ports in retaliation.
The new footage does not provide casualty figures or details on the extent of structural damage. The recommendation to strike at multiple points is an analysis from the Iranian source, not an official US statement. The overall impact on the campaign remains unclear.
