Unverified photos circulating on Telegram show a bridge connecting the port city of Bandar Abbas to Shiraz, southern Iran, damaged after an attack, according to a regional monitoring channel. The bridge is one of several infrastructure targets reportedly struck in recent days.
New unverified photos circulating on Telegram show damage to a bridge on the Bandar Abbas–Shiraz artery, according to a regional monitoring channel. The images, released following an earlier report by a journalist identified as Mordechai, are the latest visual evidence of infrastructure damage after a wave of US strikes overnight Thursday into Friday. The extent of the damage and the bridge's current state remain unconfirmed by official sources.
Earlier Friday at 00:36 Jerusalem, The Zioneer reported that security analyst Yair Goldblatt said all bridges linking Bandar Khomeini to Bandar Abbas had been attacked and disabled. A US official confirmed to the Wall Street Journal that bridge strikes aimed to cut supply lines to Bandar Abbas. Subsequent reports said five bridges were struck in the Bandar Abbas, Khamir, and Lar areas, and that strikes also hit a train station, an airport, the Chabahar maritime control tower, and the Bandar Abbas power grid. Video footage from earlier Friday documented a bridge in Khamir province struck by US forces. The new photos add a visual dimension to the reported damage on the Bandar Abbas–Shiraz route, which was not previously detailed in our thread.
Background context: The Zioneer reported at 23:30 Jerusalem Thursday on a major bridge bombed between Bandar Abbas and Lar, and at 02:28 Jerusalem Friday on a video description of a bridge collapse in Bandar Abbas after a missile hit. Reports from Abu Saleh at 08:39 Jerusalem described heavy fire on routes to Bandar Abbas overnight. The strikes are part of a US campaign to isolate the port city of Bandar Abbas and the Strait of Hormuz, as The Zioneer has reported throughout the thread.
What remains open: The new photos are unverified, and no official Iranian or US confirmation of the specific damage to the Bandar Abbas–Shiraz bridge has been issued. The condition of other bridges reported struck, and whether any casualties resulted, also remains unclear.
