Iranian media outlets report that a US military strike caused the collapse of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps' maritime control tower in the port city of Chabahar, marking the third such strike on the facility in less than a week. The report has not been independently verified.
New Iranian media reports claim that a US military strike has caused the collapse of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps' (IRGC) maritime control tower in the port city of Chabahar, southeastern Iran. The reports describe this as the third time the facility has been struck in less than a week.
Earlier today at 06:08 Jerusalem, The Zioneer reported that the tower had collapsed following a US strike, with Iranian sources later confirming the collapse. The sequence of reports began with unverified accounts of explosions and footage, then reports of seven killed, and culminated in Iranian official confirmation of the collapse. At 10:43 Jerusalem, a separate bulletin noted that Iranian sources had reported the collapse but the cause was not yet clear, referencing earlier reports of a US strike on Thursday.
The new report comes amid a broader escalation. At 08:53 Jerusalem, the IRGC claimed it destroyed US radar infrastructure in Oman, as reported by Israeli public broadcaster Kan. The US has struck IRGC targets across southern Iran in recent weeks, including in Shiraz, Khuzestan, and Abadan, as The Zioneer has reported.
The claim that this is the third strike on the Chabahar control tower in a week has not been independently verified. The extent of damage and any casualties remain unconfirmed.
