US strikes hit civilian infrastructure in southern Iran

Officials in Iran’s southern province of Hormozgan have confirmed widespread power outages following a reported attack on a train station in the coastal city of Bandar Abbas. Local authorities said the blast, which occurred early Tuesday morning, damaged the station’s electrical infrastructure and disrupted rail services across the region. Emergency crews were dispatched to contain the incident, and temporary generators were installed to restore limited electricity to critical facilities, including hospitals and water treatment plants.

In a separate statement, Iran’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs reiterated that the strategic Strait of Hormuz will not revert to its pre‑war operational levels, citing ongoing security concerns and the need for sustained maritime safety measures. The ministry emphasized that the country remains committed to safeguarding navigation through the waterway while addressing the infrastructural challenges highlighted by the recent attack. Authorities continue to monitor the situation, urging residents to conserve electricity and remain vigilant as repair work proceeds.
