US attacks on Iran toll on - bridges, railway stations hit

The article says renewed US strikes on Iran targeted bridges, a railway station near Bandar Abbas, Iranshahr airport, and other infrastructure. The market takeaway is that the escalation remains supportive for oil and the US dollar, although the author notes traders appear increasingly desensitized to repeated headlines. The destruction of transport links around Bandar Abbas is notable because it is a key export hub, raising concern about disruptions to Iranian logistics and energy flows. Overall, the piece frames the conflict as a geopolitical risk event with bullish implications for crude and the USD, but with diminishing incremental impact on sentiment as attacks continue.
