Footage published online Friday shows the control tower in the port city of Chabahar, southern Iran, after it was damaged in a strike, according to reports. The video has not been independently verified, and the attack has not been officially attributed.
New footage published Friday shows the control tower in the port city of Chabahar, southern Iran, with visible damage after a strike. The video, posted online, has not been independently verified, and the attack has not been officially attributed. It is the latest visual record from the ongoing wave of strikes on Iranian infrastructure, and follows earlier footage of a toppled maritime control tower and burning bridges published by The Zioneer earlier today.
The thread of reporting on Friday's strikes began with initial reports from Israeli journalist Roi Kais indicating that US strikes had hit the bridge linking Bandar Abbas to Shiraz and an airport in southeastern Iran. The security channel Abu Saleh then reported additional US airstrikes on bridges. A US official later confirmed to the Wall Street Journal that the bridge strikes were aimed at cutting the supply route to Bandar Abbas, which Iran uses to launch attacks on shipping. The Zioneer subsequently published footage documenting the aftermath of those strikes, including crushed bridges ablaze and a toppled maritime control tower. The new Chabahar footage is a separate location and its source is not specified.
As The Zioneer reported on Wednesday, unverified footage emerged of strikes in the same port city of Chabahar, though no attribution or damage details were available at the time. The broader US bombing campaign has targeted air defenses, command centers, and infrastructure across southern Iran, as previously reported.
The footage remains unverified, and Iranian state media has not commented on the video. The attack on the Chabahar tower has not been officially attributed to any party, and the extent of damage beyond the visible damage to the control tower is unclear.
