Iranian sources report that a telecom tower near Sirik in southern Iran, struck three times by the US during last week's events, was rebuilt and resumed operation today. The claim has not been independently verified. The tower was previously reported as a target of US Central Command strikes.
Iranian media outlets are circulating a statement claiming that the communications tower near Sirik, in Hormozgan province, has been rebuilt and reactivated after being struck three times by the United States during the period of intensive US airstrikes on southern Iran last week. The tower was among a series of targets — including IRGC naval bases, air defense positions, and infrastructure near the Strait of Hormuz — that US Central Command acknowledged striking in late June. The footage and statements have not been independently confirmed, and the condition of the surrounding military sites remains unclear.
As The Zioneer has reported throughout the past weeks, the Sirik area was repeatedly hit in multiple waves of US strikes that began around June 11 and escalated through June 28. The US campaign targeted both coastal naval installations and inland command nodes. Iran has not issued an official acknowledgment of the damage or its restoration beyond the message circulating in semi-official channels.
The rebuilding claim, if accurate, underscores Iran's effort to restore military and communications infrastructure along its strategic southern coastline, adjacent to the Strait of Hormuz — a vital chokepoint for global oil transit. No corroborating imagery or third-party verification of the tower's current operational status has been published.
