A source familiar with the details told i24NEWS that seven bridges and train stations were attacked in Iran overnight. The report does not name the attacker or provide details on damage or casualties. This development follows earlier reports from earlier today (Fri 06:41 Jerusalem) of US airstrikes hitting multiple bridges and infrastructure in southern Iran, but the new report does not attribute the strikes to any specific actor.
Earlier today, The Zioneer reported three versions of the overnight strikes. Version 1 (Fri 06:41) reported US strikes damaging a power plant on Kish Island and a railway near Bandar Abbas, with two killed and four wounded. Version 2 (also Fri 06:41) expanded to include five to six bridges in Hormozgan province, the destruction of the Chabahar maritime control tower, a train station west of Bandar Abbas, and the civilian airport in Iranshahr. Version 3 (also Fri 06:41) stated that six bridges were destroyed in southern Iran, targeting key routes. All these reports were unverified, drawing from various sources including Iranian media and US official statements. The new i24NEWS source is the first to specify seven bridges and train stations as targets, but the claim remains unconfirmed and unattributed.
As The Zioneer reported on Thursday (Jul 16, 23:50 Jerusalem), IRGC-affiliated channels reported an attack on a train station in Ahvaz. Earlier, on Jul 14, Iranian authorities announced the repair of a railway bridge damaged in previous US strikes. The broader campaign has targeted communications, command-and-control, and coastal sites, as reported on Jun 10 and Jun 11.
What remains open: The attacker is not identified in the new report, nor is the extent of damage or casualties. The claim relies on a single source and has not been independently verified by additional outlets or official statements.
