The 80-meter maritime control tower at Chabahar port in southern Iran was destroyed in a US strike this morning, according to a report. The tower, used to monitor vessel traffic to the Strait of Hormuz, had been targeted in recent weeks. The report comes after earlier footage showed damage to the tower.
A new report this morning confirms that the 80-meter maritime control tower at Chabahar port was destroyed in a US strike. The tower, used by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps to monitor vessel traffic to and from the Strait of Hormuz, had been targeted multiple times in recent weeks. The report provides additional details, including the tower's height and explicit attribution of the strike to the United States.
The thread began with unverified reports of explosions in Chabahar on Friday (06:08 Jerusalem), followed by footage from journalist Asaf Rozentzweig (N12) and Iranian reports of seven killed. By Friday (06:08 Jerusalem), The Zioneer confirmed the collapsed structure was the port's control tower. Subsequent reports at the same timestamp described the tower's collapse, with Iranian sources officially confirming it. A Friday report (06:08 Jerusalem) stated the US military fully collapsed the tower overnight, and another at the same time confirmed total destruction. The current report adds the tower's height and explicit US attribution.
As The Zioneer reported on Thursday (12:43 Jerusalem), the target was refined as the port observation tower, not the airport control tower. Footage published Friday (13:02 Jerusalem) showed damage to the tower.
The report has not been independently verified, and no details on casualties or the specific munitions used have been released.
