The Hormozgan provincial government reported that the Shahid Mirzaei tunnel was closed in both directions after being struck by enemy attacks, along with the Pol-e Shur bridge and a bridge on the Minab-Rudan road. The public was urged to avoid non-essential travel as alternative routes are being prepared. The strikes are the latest in a campaign now in its eighth consecutive night, widely attributed to the United States.
The Hormozgan provincial government reported at 01:38 Jerusalem that enemy attacks struck three bridges and a tunnel in the province. The Shahid Mirzaei tunnel was closed in both directions, the Pol-e Shur bridge was hit, and a bridge on the Minab-Rudan road was also damaged. The government urged the public to avoid non-essential travel and said alternative routes are being prepared.
This update is the latest in a series of reports tonight about the ongoing campaign. The Zioneer reported at 01:33 that the US military struck several bridges in southern Iran, and at 01:31 that two bridges and a tunnel were attacked. The new report adds a third bridge and names the specific infrastructure.
The strikes are part of a sustained US campaign against Iranian infrastructure, now in its eighth consecutive night. The campaign has targeted bridges, tunnels, and port facilities, aiming to disrupt supply lines and isolate ports near the Strait of Hormuz, as The Zioneer assessed on July 17.
What remains open: The extent of damage and any casualties have not been reported. The sole source is the provincial government's statement, and independent confirmation is pending.
