US airstrikes damage bridges and tunnel in southern Iran

Tehran, Jul 18 (Prensa Latina) Iranian authorities reported that recent US airstrikes hit two bridges and a tunnel in the southern province of Hormozgan, forcing the closure of several roads and the opening of alternative routes.

The official IRNA news agency, citing the Hormozgan Governorate, specified that one of the targets was the Rudkhaneh Shour Bridge, located on the road connecting Bandar Abbas with Sirjan.

As a result of the bombings, this infrastructure was closed to traffic.

The attacks also affected the bridge located at the Minab intersection, which leads to Rudan, and the Shahid Mirzaei Tunnel, on the road between Bandar Abbas and Hajiabad.

Authorities urged residents to avoid the affected roads and use the designated detours. The United States launched successive waves of attacks against targets inside Iran in recent days, while Tehran retaliated against ships, facilities, and bases it identifies as US military positions in several countries in the region.

Washington and Tehran signed a memorandum of understanding on June 18 that stipulated a cessation of military operations and the start of negotiations to reach a broader agreement.

However, US President Donald Trump announced the end of the interim agreement on July 8 after attacks on three ships in the Strait of Hormuz.

The United States then resumed its bombing campaign inside Iran, amid an escalation of Iranian retaliation in the region.
