A long line of tankers is stuck near a bridge in the southern Iranian port city of Bandar Abbas that was previously attacked by the US military, according to unverified reports. The bridge damage is part of the ongoing US campaign against Iranian infrastructure.
At 15:27 Jerusalem, reports circulating among security-focused channels describe a long line of tankers stuck near a bridge in the southern Iranian port city of Bandar Abbas that was struck by the US military. The development follows a series of reports earlier today, at 03:44 Jerusalem, that began with unconfirmed accounts of a bridge bombing killing seven, then tankers spotted near the site, followed by a convoy of diesel tankers stuck on the bridge, and finally fuel tanker movement halted in three provinces.
The Zioneer's reporting on this incident started at 03:44 Jerusalem, when unconfirmed Iranian reports said a bridge bombing killed seven and wounded nine. Minutes later, reports indicated tankers near the bombed bridge, then a convoy of diesel tankers stuck on the bridge, and then fuel tanker movement halted in Khoreshstan, Hamir, and Hormozgan provinces. The bridge was previously reported as collapsed at 02:28 Jerusalem, with a video description showing a missile strike to the center of the bridge, as The Zioneer reported.
The strikes are part of the ongoing US campaign against Iranian military infrastructure. The Zioneer reported on July 13 that the US Army confirmed a new wave of strikes, including the bombing of Bandar Abbas Air Base. Earlier today at 13:38 Jerusalem, reports indicated US strikes on the Kohurestan bridge on the Bandar Abbas–Shiraz route, a critical logistics artery, as The Zioneer reported.
The extent of the traffic disruption and any impact on fuel deliveries or supply routes remains unclear. The reports are unverified and have not been confirmed by official sources.
