Situation Update
On Day 12, a significant milestone was achieved in the ongoing campaign. A successful long-range strategic bombing mission disrupted Iran's oil product supply, dealing a severe blow to both its fuel supply and the morale of its armed forces. Concurrently, ground operations saw substantial progress, particularly around Bandar Abbas City. The US-led ground forces secured Mountain Genu, resulting in the first siege of Bandar Abbas City since the conflict began. This accomplishment effectively severed the city's northern logistics corridor, further tightening the grip on Bandar Abbas. The ground troops continued to reinforce positions, building on the siege. The USMC 1st Division's 1st and 2nd Regiments entrenched themselves in the city's western industrial complex, fortifying it into a robust stronghold and base of operations. On the eastern flank, the 4th Regiment took over Bandar Abbas Airport, while the 5th Regiment secured the strategic Dasht-e Eman conjunction linking Qadehar town and the North Corridor. Meanwhile, the 6th Regiment held the high ground atop Mountain Genu, with reinforcements regrouping in the rural areas between the mountain and the city. Despite the swift collapse of Iranian defenses in other towns, Bandar Abbas stands resilient, suggesting the potential for intense urban combat. Our intelligence reports indicate that the Iranian Army's 2nd Corps has mobilized a significant counteroffensive scheduled for Day 13. Overnight, eight battle tank brigades were dispatched via railway to the frontline. At dawn, our scouts atop Mountain Genu observed tank columns advancing through the Fin area, about 35 kilometers northwest of their position. Additional tank groups are expected to follow suit, aiming to restore Bandar Abbas's connection and supply lines. The expansive desert valley between Mountain Genu and Mountain Gishan offers an ideal terrain for tank maneuvers without any effective strongholds. This openness, however, also makes it a prime hunting ground for A-10C Warthogs and other attackers. Unfortunately, logistical issues have hindered the Air Force's weapon supply in short term, as they transition bases from Al Dhafra AB to Al Minhad AB. To compensate, the Fifth Fleet Commander ordered the CVN-71 Strike Group to scramble two flights of F/A-18C Hornets, armed with AGM-65 Maverick A-G missiles to intercept the initial wave of Iranian torrent of steel advancing into the valley. The Iranian Air Force 2nd Wing based in Kerman has also planned a large number of Fighter Sweep sorties in the morning, fighting for air supremacy over the desert valley area and supporting their battle tank groups. The imminent battle in Bandar Abbas and its environs marks a critical juncture in the war.
