A single Arabic-language security source reports that US warships are positioned 150 to 250 kilometers off the coast of Chabahar, southeastern Iran, according to an unverified claim circulated on Telegram. The report follows a warning from the same source that US targets around the Strait of Hormuz are exposed, and comes amid ongoing American strikes against IRGC positions along Iran's southern coast.
An unverified report from a single Arabic-language source, the Arabic Desk, claims US warships are now positioned 150–250 km off Chabahar, a key Iranian port on the Gulf of Oman near the Pakistani border. The same source had warned hours earlier that US targets 'all around the Strait of Hormuz' are exposed to threats.
The report arrives as The Zioneer has documented a sustained US campaign against IRGC naval infrastructure. The Zioneer previously reported (June 10, 21:48 UTC) that most US strikes are now concentrating on Iran's coast and islands, amid assessments that preparations may be underway for a ground landing — neither confirmed by official sources. A US official confirmed to the Wall Street Journal (June 10, 22:07 UTC) that US forces struck Iranian air defense and radar sites near the Strait of Hormuz, adding a new dimension to the campaign.
The Chabahar positioning claim, if verified, would place American naval assets near a strategic hub used for Iran's trade corridor with India and Afghanistan, widening the geographic footprint of the US-Iran confrontation beyond the Strait of Hormuz. No official confirmation from the Pentagon, US Central Command, or Iranian authorities has been issued.
