According to reports, a missile struck a bridge in Kohgiluyeh province, southern Iran, causing a fuel tanker to explode. The driver was killed and a section of the bridge collapsed. The bridge connects the port city of Bandar Abbas to Shiraz.
Reports indicate that a missile struck a bridge in Kohgiluyeh province, southern Iran, late Thursday evening, causing a fuel tanker to explode. The driver was killed and a section of the bridge collapsed. The reports remain unverified, and the responsible party has not been identified.
The development follows earlier reports from Thursday night, published at 23:31 Jerusalem, in which the Iranian Fars agency reported a US strike on a bridge in Bandar Khamir, near Qeshm Island in the Strait of Hormuz. At the same time, security analyst Yair Goldblatt reported on X that one person was killed in the strike. The Fars report attributed the strike to the US military, but no official confirmation has been issued.
The Zioneer has tracked multiple reports of strikes on bridges in southern Iran tonight, including a separate report of a bridge bombed between Bandar Abbas and Lar. The reports come amid a broader pattern of attacks in the region, as The Zioneer has previously reported.
The location of the latest incident — reported as Kohgiluyeh province — differs from earlier reports citing Bandar Khamir. The discrepancy has not been resolved, and independent verification of any of the claims is still lacking.
