An unverified report on Telegram describes the condition of a bridge on the Rodan–Bandar Abbas axis in southern Iran, following US strikes on bridges in the area yesterday. No further details on the bridge's status were provided.
An unverified Telegram report published Sunday afternoon describes the condition of a bridge on the Rodan–Bandar Abbas axis in southern Iran, the first report in the ongoing US strikes to address this particular route. The report follows days of reports on damage to other bridges in the region.
Since early Friday, July 17, The Zioneer has reported on multiple US strikes on bridges in southern Iran. Initial reports that night were unverified, but by 00:36 Jerusalem, Iran's semi-official Fars news agency confirmed five bridges were struck in the Bandar Abbas, Khamir, and Lar areas. Subsequent footage documented damage to the Bandar Abbas–Shiraz bridge, the railway bridge near Bandar Abbas, and the Kohurestan bridge on the same route. The new report is the first to mention the Rodan axis.
The strikes have caused significant disruption. As The Zioneer reported on July 17, a tanker traffic jam was reported near a damaged bridge in Bandar Abbas. On July 18, heavy traffic congestion was documented on alternative routes. Earlier footage also described a bridge collapse in Bandar Abbas after a missile strike.
The report on the Rodan–Bandar Abbas bridge remains unverified, with no official confirmation from Iranian authorities. The extent of damage and whether the bridge is still passable have not been specified.
