According to unverified reports, the US military struck three bridges in Iran's Hormozgan province within the last minutes. The claims are from a single source and have not been independently confirmed. The strikes would be the latest in a series of US attacks on Iranian infrastructure near the Strait of Hormuz.
A new unverified report claims that the US military struck three bridges in Iran's Hormozgan province within the last minutes, as of 01:31 Jerusalem time. The report, attributed to a single source, states that the attack targeted bridges in the province. The claim has not been independently confirmed, and no official confirmation from US or Iranian sources is available.
The reported strike follows a series of US attacks on Iranian infrastructure near the Strait of Hormuz. As The Zioneer reported on July 17, Iranian sources previously reported six bridges damaged and eight killed in Hormozgan province (ynet, July 17, 15:58 Jerusalem). Earlier, on July 17 at 01:31 Jerusalem, The Zioneer reported that two bridges and a tunnel were attacked overnight, according to Iranian sources. On July 17 at 17:45 Jerusalem, The Zioneer assessed that the US strikes aimed to cut off port access near the Strait of Hormuz. On July 17 at 19:58 Jerusalem, new footage documented the aftermath of strikes on bridges in Bandar Abbas.
The pattern of strikes has focused on bridges connecting major Iranian ports in the Hormozgan region, as part of an apparent US campaign to isolate the ports from the hinterland. The Zioneer previously assessed this strategy on July 17. The latest report, if confirmed, would represent a continuation of that campaign.
The authenticity of the latest report cannot be verified, and no further details on the specific bridges targeted or any damage or casualties are available.
