Simultaneously with the end of the seventh night of U.S. attacks on Iran, officials of the Islamic Republic reported damage to some transportation, water, and electricity infrastructure in Hormozgan province; attacks that, according to local officials, have caused temporary blockage of some communication routes and disruption in services.

Ahmad Karami-Asad, head of the Traffic Police of Faraja, announced that following the attacks on the morning of Saturday, July 27, and also the attacks of the past few days, some of the exit routes from Hormozgan province towards Fars and Kerman provinces have been temporarily closed.

According to him, the traffic police and the Road Maintenance Organization are working to reopen at least one passageway. Karami-Asad added that currently only one secondary route for passenger vehicles from Bandar Abbas towards Fars and Kerman is operational, but heavy vehicle traffic is not possible until further notice, and the complete reopening of the routes depends on the completion of safety operations and the repair of damaged infrastructure.

The Hormozgan Governorate also announced that last night's attacks caused damage to four points on the communication routes of this province. According to this announcement, the Shahid Mirzaei Tunnel on the inbound and outbound route, the Shour River Bridge on the Bandar Abbas–Sirjan route, and two bridges on the Minab-Roudan intersection route were targeted in the attack. The governorate has asked citizens to refrain from traveling on these routes until further notice.
