Iranian reports indicate that the railway line in the southern port city of Bandar Abbas was attacked. No details on the extent of damage, casualties, or the source of the attack are available. The report follows a series of unverified accounts of strikes on Iranian infrastructure tonight.
Iranian sources have confirmed that the railway line in the port city of Bandar Abbas was targeted, with reports emerging at 23:53 Jerusalem time. The strike comes just minutes after The Zioneer reported a bridge was hit in the same city, as part of a new wave of attacks tonight. The extent of damage and any casualties remain unconfirmed, and no group has claimed responsibility.
The latest reports follow a series of unverified accounts of strikes on Iranian infrastructure earlier Thursday. At 03:50 Jerusalem, initial reports emerged of a US strike in Bandar Abbas. Over the course of the early morning, additional reports specified a communications tower, railway tracks, and a bridge as targets, culminating in a report of a strike on a railway junction. All these reports were attributed to Iranian sources but remained unverified by official channels.
As The Zioneer reported on July 8, Bandar Abbas International Airport was attacked and shut down. On July 13, an air force base at the port was reportedly bombed. Power outages were also reported on July 8. These events form part of a broader pattern of reported strikes on Iranian infrastructure.
The source of the attacks remains officially unconfirmed. The Iranian government has not commented on the latest reports, and no independent verification is available.
