A senior US official revealed that the US military attacked several bridges in Iran on Thursday with the intention of cutting off Iran's supply routes to a port city and naval base in the Strait of Hormuz; Iran relied on this base to attack merchant ships and carry out military force delivery. Radio and television of the Islamic Republic of Iran reported that on Thursday night, several bridges in and around Bandar Abbas were attacked, and the road connecting Bandar Abbas to surrounding provinces was announced to be closed. Bandar Abbas is home to Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps naval base, which is essential for Iran to project military power in the Strait of Hormuz and the entire Persian Gulf region. Recently, the US military has continued to launch attacks on this area. Earlier this week, they also used maritime drones to attack a local Iranian submarine and ship facility.
