U.S. Targets Iranian Bridges in Bid to Choke Off Regime’s Supply Routes

The U.S. struck multiple bridges in Iran on Thursday to cut off supply routes to Bandar Abbas, a port city and naval base in the Strait of Hormuz.

Bandar Abbas houses an Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps naval base critical to Iran's power projection in the Persian Gulf.

The U.S. has conducted a sixth straight day of strikes against Iran, focusing on missile and drone facilities used to threaten shipping.

Iran responded by striking U.S. infrastructure in the region and continuing attacks on commercial ships.

The U.S. imposes a naval blockade of Iranian ports and has redirected three vessels and disabled another that didn't comply.
