Unverified reports indicate that a bridge connecting the southern port city of Bandar Abbas to Shiraz was attacked tonight, the second such infrastructure strike in the region within hours. Details on the responsible party, damage, and casualties are not yet available.
A bridge connecting Bandar Abbas to Shiraz in southern Iran was reportedly attacked tonight, according to the source. The message, posted at 23:45 Jerusalem time, states that the bridge was attacked but provides no further details on the extent of damage, the responsible party, or casualties.
The report is the second bridge-related incident in the region in under an hour. At 23:30, The Zioneer reported a bombing of a bridge between Bandar Abbas and Lar, also unverified, which halted traffic. Earlier this week, strikes on Bandar Abbas's airport and communications towers were reported, as covered by The Zioneer. The pattern of attacks on infrastructure in southern Iran appears to be intensifying, though the full scope remains unclear.
The Zioneer will update as more information becomes available.
