BREAKING: The US has begun major strikes on Iranian infrastructure, hitting the Bandar Khamir overpass bridge connecting Bandar Abbas to Lar, the Gariveh Bridge, a third bridge in Hormozgan Province, and a major railway station west of Bandar Abbas connecting to the Shahid Rajaei port, a key freight hub linking Iran’s largest commercial port to the country’s national rail network. The Bandar Khamir overpass was struck while cars were on it, killing at least 1 with several injured. The Gariveh Bridge strike killed 2 and injured 4.
Additional US strikes have hit a telecommunications tower in Bandar Abbas causing damage to nearby residential buildings and civilian casualties, and a civilian airport in Iranshahr in southeastern Iran.
This directly triggers Iran’s IRGC warning today that if the US strikes Iranian infrastructure, Iran will “destroy every last piece of infrastructure in the entire region as if it had never existed,” and the Houthis warning of closing the Bab al-Mandab Strait.
