U.S. Bridge Strikes Cut Off City that Keeps Iran Alive
(Telegraph-UK) Benedict Smith - New U.S. bombings leave Bandar Abbas, where half of Iran's trade comes ashore, almost completely isolated. By Friday morning, the roads linking the city to the rest of the nation lay broken, the railway severed, and a port that helps feed some 90 million people all but cut off from the country it sustains. Bandar Abbas is also home to Iran's main naval base. Michael Rubin, a former Pentagon official, said, "There's a growing sense, a growing conclusion inside the Pentagon, that whether the United States wants to do this or not, they really have no choice if they want this to end."
