Iran’s Mehr News Agency reported that a U.S. strike has disrupted the communication network in Kerman, Iran. This incident is part of ongoing military actions in the 2026 Iran war, which intensified following the breakdown of a ceasefire on July 8.

The disruption in Kerman aligns with the U.S.’s strategic efforts to weaken Iran’s military infrastructure amid tense diplomatic negotiations.
