The US military bombed the Kohurestan bridge in southern Iran, a critical logistics artery on the Bandar Abbas–Shiraz route, according to reports. The strike is part of the fifth consecutive night of CENTCOM operations against Iranian transport infrastructure. Damage and casualties are not yet reported.
US forces struck the Kohurestan bridge on the Bandar Abbas–Shiraz route overnight, the fifth consecutive night of CENTCOM strikes targeting Iranian transport infrastructure, according to unverified reports. The attack follows a series of bridge strikes earlier today and overnight that have progressively isolated the port city of Bandar Abbas.
The Zioneer has been tracking the campaign since the early hours of Friday. At 00:36 Jerusalem, the desk reported initial unverified reports of bridge strikes, followed by footage of damaged bridges and Iranian state media confirming five bridges hit. A US official confirmed to the Wall Street Journal at that time that the strikes aimed to cut supply lines to Bandar Abbas. By 12:25 Jerusalem, The Zioneer reported that at least six bridges had been destroyed, including the Gariba bridge on the Bandar Abbas–Khamir–Lar route. At 13:06 Jerusalem, another bridge on the same route was reported struck.
The campaign is part of a broader CENTCOM operation to degrade Iran's ability to project power in the Strait of Hormuz, as The Zioneer has reported. Background context from earlier reports indicate that the US has expanded airstrikes across southern Iran, targeting IRGC naval assets, radar systems, and transport infrastructure.
Damage and casualty figures from the Kohurestan bridge strike are not yet available. The reports remain unverified, and no official US confirmation of this specific target has been released.
