IRGC-aligned channels published additional footage Wednesday morning purportedly showing the attack on the civilian maritime control tower at Chabahar port. The footage follows a report earlier today that the United States struck the tower for the second time. The source and authenticity of the footage have not been independently verified.
The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) released additional footage Wednesday morning purportedly showing the attack on the civilian maritime control tower at Chabahar port. The footage, published via IRGC-aligned channels, follows a report earlier Wednesday (08:53 Jerusalem) from Iranian sources claiming the United States struck the tower for the second time. The authenticity of the footage and the timing of the attack have not been independently verified.
The thread began at 00:18 Jerusalem with reports of explosions in Chabahar, initially attributed to US airstrikes by N12 journalist Asaf Rosenzweig. By 08:53 Jerusalem, a single-sourced Iranian report specified the target as the civilian maritime control tower, used for monitoring vessel traffic to and from the Strait of Hormuz. The new footage adds visual material to the claim but remains unconfirmed.
The release is part of an ongoing information war between the US and Iran, with the IRGC regularly publishing visual evidence of operations and claims of strikes. The Zioneer has reported on a series of US strikes on IRGC assets in recent weeks, including at Chabahar, Bandar Deyr, and other ports, as well as IRGC retaliatory missile launches toward Gulf states.
What remains open: the source and authenticity of the footage, the timing of the claimed attack, and any details on damage or casualties. The initial report and the new footage are single-sourced and unverified. No independent confirmation has been reported.
