Bahmanshir Bridge at Istgah-e Haft (Persian: پل بهمنشیر آبادان ایستگاه هفت, Pol-e Bahmanshir-e Ābadān-e Istgāh-e Haft), which is commonly referred to as the Istgah-e Haft Bridge (Persian: پل ایستگاه هفت, Pol-e Istgāh-e Haft), is a bridge over the Bahmanshir River in the Istgah-e Haft neighborhood of Abadan, Iran. During the early part of the Iran–Iraq War, this bridge played a critical role during the Siege of Abadan, as it was one of only two bridges allowing access to Abadan Island making the key cities of Abadan and Khorramshahr difficult to capture.[1]
