Iran bridges targeted ahead of ground assault

The article indicates that the United States is escalating strikes against infrastructure in southern Iran, targeting bridges, main roads, and transportation hubs with the aim of hindering Iran's ability to mobilize military forces and supplies. This approach is designed to diminish the effectiveness of the movement network relied upon by Iranian forces, threatening their capacity for maneuvering and redeployment, especially in the strategically vital Strait of Hormuz area. Despite ongoing losses, Iran still retains the ability to launch missiles and armed drones, and depends on an extensive transportation network to distribute its forces and resources. The shift in targeting infrastructure signals a new phase of operations focused on strangling supply routes, with the potential to evolve into limited ground assaults, particularly on Qods Island, which is a key strategic point for Iran’s financing and oil exports. This development aims to intensify pressure on Iran without direct occupation. Additionally, Iran is responding to these escalations with threats of retaliation through attacks on oil and gas facilities, while maintaining flexible options to avoid unlimited escalation—such as closing the Strait of Hormuz or targeting oil tankers via the Houthis—to increase the costs of war for both sides.
