According to a report received at 07:13 Jerusalem, the US Air Force overnight struck five bridges serving as supply lines to southern Iran. The report offers the most specific detail yet on the night's strikes, which had earlier been described in broad terms by a security analyst. The information is unconfirmed by independent sources.
At 07:13 Jerusalem Friday morning, a report specified that the US Air Force struck five bridges serving as supply lines to southern Iran overnight. This is the most specific detail yet on the night's strikes, which had been reported in stages since Thursday evening.
The first reports at 23:45 Thursday indicated a bridge linking Bandar Abbas to Shiraz was attacked. Iranian state television then confirmed two bridges were targeted, followed by Israeli media reports of two bridges and US missiles near Sirik. The reported number of bridges quickly rose to five across multiple outlets, including ynet, Iranian media, and Fars News Agency, all by 23:45 Thursday. At 05:04 Friday, security analyst Yair Goldblatt posted on X that overnight US strikes had hit IRGC naval assets, weapons warehouses, and bridges. At 06:21, unverified reports indicated the bridges had sustained damage. The current report at 07:13 specifies that the US Air Force targeted five bridges that are key supply routes to southern Iran.
The strikes are part of a broader US campaign that has seen multiple nights of attacks on Iranian infrastructure, including previous strikes on bridges to cut supply routes to Bandar Abbas, as The Zioneer reported earlier. The Zioneer has also reported on US strikes on railway bridges in northern Iran and a fourth consecutive night of strikes as part of the wider escalation.
The details remain unconfirmed by independent sources, and no official US or Iranian statement has been issued. The specific locations of the five bridges and the extent of damage are not yet known.
