U.S. Strikes Hit Second Bridge in Hormozgan Province, Two Killed and Four Injured.
According to Hormozgan provincial authorities, in addition to the earlier strike on the Kahurestan bridge, U.S. forces also targeted the Gariyeh bridge on provincial transport routes.
The attacks killed two people and injured four others, local emergency and medical centers reported.
As a result, the Bandar Abbas–Khamir–Lar road has been completely closed, and the Kashar–Kahurestan road has also been blocked.
Reports indicate U.S. strikes hit the Bandar Abbas railway junction, a key freight hub connecting Iran’s largest commercial port to the country’s national rail network.
A bridge near Kahurstan in Khamir County has reportedly been damaged, forcing authorities to close the Bandar Abbas to Lar road in both directions, according to local sources.
In Kahouristan, Bandar Abbas, a bridge was targeted.

"U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) ended an evening wave of strikes against Iran at 9 p.m. ET on July 15.
U.S. forces struck Iranian command centers, air defense sites, missile and drone capabilities, and coastal surveillance facilities to further degrade Iran's ability to threaten innocent mariners crewing commercial vessels transiting the Strait of Hormuz. CENTCOM used precision munitions to hit targets in multiple locations including Bandar Abbas.
Earlier this morning, American forces struck coastal defense and cruise missile sites on Greater Tunb Island during a 90-minute wave.
The U.S. military is holding Iran accountable at the Commander in Chief's direction."
