The United States struck bridges and a major traffic tunnel in southern Iran last night, as part of a campaign to isolate the Bandar Abbas area near the Strait of Hormuz, according to Abu Ali Express. Iran retaliated with strikes on targets in Kuwait, Jordan, Bahrain, Iraq, and reportedly Saudi Arabia. Two American soldiers were killed and four wounded by Iranian missiles in Jordan.
The latest US airstrikes targeted bridges and a key traffic tunnel near Bandar Abbas, southern Iran, aiming to cut off the area from the Strait of Hormuz, a vital chokepoint for global oil transit. According to the report, Iran responded by launching attacks on US-allied positions across the region, including Kuwait, Bahrain, Iraq, Jordan, and likely Saudi Arabia. The most severe consequence was the death of two American soldiers and the wounding of four others in Jordan from Iranian missile fire. The strikes are part of a broader US campaign to degrade Iranian military infrastructure around the Strait of Hormuz, with operations continuing for several nights. No further details on the extent of damage or the specific targets in Iran beyond the bridges and tunnel were provided.
