The US military attacked a naval headquarters near the Iranian port city of Chabahar overnight, according to the Abu Saleh Desk, an Arabic-language the source. No further details on casualties or extent of damage were immediately available.
The Abu Saleh Desk, an Arabic-language source, reported early Tuesday morning that US forces struck a naval headquarters near Chabahar, a port city in southeastern Iran on the Gulf of Oman. The post, published at 09:51 Jerusalem time, described the attack as occurring 'last night.' This report comes as the US military campaign against Iran enters its fifth consecutive night, with CENTCOM having confirmed a third wave of precision strikes earlier Tuesday at 00:11 Jerusalem, hitting air defense, radar, missile, and naval targets along the Persian Gulf and Strait of Hormuz. The Chabahar strike, if confirmed, would mark a geographic expansion of the campaign to Iran's southeastern coast, far from the main theater of operations around the Strait of Hormuz and the Persian Gulf.
Over the course of the campaign, The Zioneer has tracked a rapid escalation. On the first night, the US Army announced a new wave of strikes without specifying targets. By the second night, explosions were reported in Bandar Abbas, Bushehr, and Qeshm Island. CENTCOM then confirmed a third consecutive night of strikes at 23:45 Jerusalem on Monday, with Iranian state television reporting explosions in Bandar Abbas. Unverified reports also described an explosion in the northeastern city of Mashhad. Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps claimed it retaliated by striking US targets in Bahrain, Kuwait, and Jordan, with Bahrain confirming alerts and Jordan reporting interceptions. The Chabahar report, however, has not been corroborated by any official US or Iranian source, and no details on casualties or damage have emerged.
As The Zioneer reported on Sunday, security analyst Yair Goldblatt reported ongoing attacks on Kish Island and Bandar Abbas, while Iran's Saberin News Channel published an unverified list of US bases allegedly hit in the region. The Abu Saleh Desk, which has previously posted about regional security developments and even praised IDF soldiers while calling on the Israeli government to resign, has not provided additional evidence for the Chabahar claim.
The Chabahar report remains unverified. No official confirmation from US Central Command, the Iranian military, or any independent source has been received. The extent of damage, if any, and the nature of the targeted facility are unknown. The Zioneer is monitoring for further information.
