    Iran war is no longer a contest over just the Strait of Hormuz

    Iran closed the Strait of Hormuz and attacked a Cyprus-flagged container ship, prompting the United States to launch strikes on 140 targets, including locations along the strait and a bridge in Golestan province. The US strikes occurred in response to Iran's actions, with one strike targeting the Aq Taqeh Khan bridge in Aq Qala.

    US strike reportedly hits bridge on China-Iran rail corridor also used by Russia

    A US strike reportedly damaged the Aq Taqeh Khan railway bridge in Iran's Golestan province, a key trade link for China and Russia. The route, which passes through Turkmenistan and Kazakhstan, has been critical for China-Iran trade and Russia's cargo shipments to Iran since late 2025. Repairs to the bridge are expected to be completed quickly.
