Missile Strike on Kahurestan Bridge, Bandar Khamir

Multiple outlets reported that the Kahurestan bridge, part of the main road connecting Bandar Abbas to Lar (Fars province), was struck by a missile amid a series of explosions overnight, cutting road traffic on the route. Tasnim News reported that vehicles were reportedly crossing the bridge at the moment of impact, and cited an unverified claim that the missile struck the bridge's center and ignited a fuel tanker, though it stated no information on casualties was available at that time. Mehr News's headline and lede state that the strike destroyed the Kahurestan bridge, cut the connecting route between Hormozgan and Fars provinces, and resulted in the deaths of innocent people. Hormozgan's provincial government confirmed the bridge strike as part of the night's attacks. Separately, an unnamed US official was quoted claiming that bridge strikes in the region were intended to cut supply lines to Bandar Abbas — relevant context for the "target claimed" field once verified against a primary US statement.
