The judiciary of the Islamic Republic announced the execution of a man accused of killing a law enforcement officer in Bandar Abbas. The officer was identified as Reza Ehterami, a member of the Bandar Abbas County Police Emergency Unit. The defendant had previously been identified as “Daniel.” It was alleged that the killing took place four years ago, during a confrontation with fuel smugglers, when the officer was run over by a vehicle driven by the man who was executed. On Saturday, the judiciary of the Islamic Republic also announced the execution of Jaber Khosravi, a prisoner sentenced to retribution in a case involving the killing of a police officer. The case dates back to an incident at Velayat Hospital in Damghan on 11 Shahrivar 1401. According to claims by judicial officials, the officer’s weapon was seized during the incident, and he died after being struck by two bullets. @ VahidHeadline 📡 @VahidOnline

Branch One of the Alborz Province Court of Appeals has upheld a combined 18-year prison sentence for Manouchehr Bakhtiyari, the grieving father of Pouya Bakhtiyari, who was killed during the Aban 1398 protests. According to the ruling, Bakhtiyari was sentenced to 10 years in prison for “forming and running a group in cyberspace with the aim of undermining national security,” five years for “assembly and collusion to commit crimes against national security by cooperating with a group opposed to the system,” two years for “publishing falsehoods with the intent to disturb public opinion,” and one year for “propaganda against the system.” The ruling was upheld less than three weeks after Branch One of the Bandar Abbas Revolutionary Court sentenced Manouchehr Bakhtiyari to another 10 years in prison in a separate case. In the Bandar Abbas case, he faced charges including “propaganda against the system,” “inciting people to war and bloodshed,” and “sending videos to foreign social media networks.” The case was brought following a complaint by the Bandar Abbas prosecutor. @VahidHeadline 📡 @VahidOnline

Fars News Agency, affiliated with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, reported Wednesday morning that an Emirati oil tanker detained in the northern corridor of the Strait of Hormuz had changed course and was heading toward Bandar Abbas. According to the report, the tanker’s original destination was Jebel Ali Port in the United Arab Emirates, but after it was detained, it was diverted toward Iranian waters. Fars did not identify the tanker, its owner, its flag, its cargo, or the official reason for its detention—adding to uncertainty about the nature of the action. Reports republished by Fars also say the tanker was stopped while transiting the Strait of Hormuz, within a corridor designated by Iran. The report came a day after the United Arab Emirates accused Iran of firing two missiles at the country. @VahidOOnLine 📡 @VahidOnline

An excerpt from remarks by a presenter on the Islamic Republic of Iran’s state broadcaster, saying “Southern Iran, sacrificed for southern Lebanon,” has gone viral on social media over the past 24 hours, drawing fierce reactions from users. On Monday, 26 Mordad, the IRIB news agency said the remarks had been “edited out of context” and released a longer video of Reyhaneh Ghasemizadeh’s comments. However, the longer video released by the agency still shows the same remarks as before. In the video, responding to criticism of the airstrikes on southern Iran, the presenter calls critics’ words “the opponents’ fake concern for Iran” and insists: “Southern Iran, sacrificed for southern Lebanon.” During last month’s airstrikes on southern Iran, many Iranians around the world expressed solidarity with the people of the region, particularly the residents of Bandar Abbas. @ VahidHeadline Given the nonsense she says before and after, it seems she meant that opponents of the Islamic Republic say the regime sacrificed southern Iran for southern Lebanon. Otherwise, even the most shameless among them engage in demagoguery when it comes to national issues; they don’t openly trumpet their views on “the nation sacrificed for the ummah.” 📡 @VahidOnline

The “United Students” Telegram channel reported that on the evening of 26 Tir 1405, as the master’s entrance exam was underway, bridges along the Bastak–Bandar Khamir–Bandar Abbas route were targeted in CENTCOM drone strikes, completely cutting off the road linking the two counties to Bandar Abbas. The candidates’ exam center had been designated in Bandar Abbas, but the road closures meant none of them could reach the venue. The candidates say they repeatedly contacted the roads and transportation department and other responsible agencies until the final hours before the exam, but no solution was offered to transport them or change their exam center. These students say they had spent months preparing for the exam, but ultimately lost the chance to sit it because of the wartime conditions and the officials’ lack of planning. @VahidHeadline 📡 @VahidOnline

Tunnels and bridges destroyed in U.S. attacks, shown on a map During recent U.S. attacks, which have focused mainly on southern Iran, several bridges, a tunnel, and a railway junction station in Hormozgan Province were targeted, causing serious damage. The bridges and tunnel are on routes connecting Hormozgan Province to Fars and Kerman provinces, and their destruction brought traffic to a halt on routes from Bandar Abbas toward Shiraz and Kerman Province. The Shahid Mirzaei Tunnel in the Golgah area, on the route from Bandar Abbas toward Hajjiabad, reopened one day after both portals, for inbound and outbound traffic, were destroyed. On other routes where bridges were targeted, the roads alongside the bridges have been used temporarily. @ VahidHeadline 📡 @VahidOnline

As the seventh night of U.S. attacks on Iran came to an end, Islamic Republic officials reported damage to parts of Hormozgan Province’s transportation, water and electricity infrastructure. Local officials said the attacks had temporarily blocked some routes and disrupted services. Ahmad Karami-Asad, head of the Traffic Police of Iran’s Law Enforcement Command, said that following attacks early Saturday, 27 Tir, as well as attacks over the past several days, some routes out of Hormozgan Province toward Fars and Kerman provinces had been temporarily closed. He said the road police and the Road Maintenance and Transportation Organization were working to reopen at least one route. Karami-Asad added that, for now, only one secondary route is open to passenger cars traveling from Bandar Abbas toward Fars and Kerman, while heavy vehicles cannot travel until further notice. The full reopening of the routes depends on the completion of safety inspections and repairs to the damaged infrastructure. The Hormozgan governor’s office also said that attacks last night damaged four locations along the province’s transport routes. According to the statement, the Shahid Mirzaei Tunnel in both directions, the Shur River Bridge on the Bandar Abbas–Sirjan route, and two bridges on the road from the Minab junction toward Rudan were targeted. The governor’s office has asked residents to avoid these routes until further notice. At the same time, Hormozgan’s deputy governor for political, security and social affairs said several missiles struck electricity facilities and desalination pumps at the pier in the village of Bongi, in Jask County. He said water service to several villages was cut off as a result. No official report has yet been released on the extent of the damage or possible casualties. Tasnim News Agency, which is close to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, also reported damage to two bridges on the Bandar Abbas–Rudan route and said a maritime surveillance tower on Larak Island had been targeted. It reported that several people had been killed or injured in the attacks, but gave no precise casualty figures. @ VahidHeadline Hormozgan’s director general of communications said that U.S. attacks last night had taken “116 telecommunications towers” in the province out of service, disrupting communications in parts of northern Bandar Abbas and Hajiabad County. Ahad Ghavidel made the announcement on Saturday, 27 Tir, adding that landline, mobile and internet services were currently down in some areas in the north of the province. He said the outages were caused by damage to communications transmission routes near the Mirzaei Tunnel. According to the report, “The data transmission route from Bandar Abbas toward Hajiabad, which runs over fiber-optic cable, was disrupted last night when the Mirzaei Tunnel and the Shur River Bridge were attacked.” @ VahidHeadline A spokesperson for the Islamic Republic’s Ministry of Health said that U.S. airstrikes from 6 Tir through 27 Tir had killed at least 50 people and injured more than 500. Hossein Kermanpour, the ministry’s spokesperson, said five women and two children and teenagers under 18 were among those killed. He added that 32 women and 18 teenagers had been injured in the attacks. The spokesperson said 37 of the injured remained hospitalized. @ VahidHeadline 📡 @VahidOnline

A senior U.S. official told The Wall Street Journal that the U.S. military targeted several bridges in Iran to cut supply routes leading to Bandar Abbas and a naval base located in the Strait of Hormuz. The United States says the Islamic Republic uses that naval base to attack ships and project power. Iranian state television also reported several attacks on bridges in Bandar Abbas and surrounding areas, and said highways leading to Bandar Abbas from neighboring provinces had been closed. The U.S. president said in an interview with Fox News on Tuesday, ۲۳ Tir, that the scope of U.S. attacks on the Islamic Republic would expand in the coming days. Donald Trump added that heavy attacks would continue and that, if the Islamic Republic did not enter negotiations, its power plants and bridges would be targeted next week. He stated: “We will take all their power plants and all their bridges out of service unless they come to the negotiating table.” Trump also stressed in the interview that the U.S. military operation against the Islamic Republic was ongoing and that the attacks would not stop “until I say it’s enough.” @ VahidHeadline 📡 @VahidOnline
