The CEO of the Sistan and Baluchestan electricity company announced that three power lines in the Iranian port city of Chabahar were damaged by enemy attacks about an hour ago. Two lines have been restored, and the third will be restored shortly, according to a report by security analyst Yair Goldblatt.
The CEO of the Sistan and Baluchestan electricity company confirmed around 23:00 Jerusalem on Wednesday evening that three power lines in the port city of Chabahar were damaged by enemy attacks. Two lines have been restored, and the third is being repaired. The statement provides the first official attribution for the power outages that were reported earlier in the evening.
The Zioneer first reported air defense activations and explosions in Chabahar at 23:04 Jerusalem, followed by unverified reports of power outages from i24NEWS and footage of strikes posted by security analyst Yair Goldblatt. Those initial reports did not specify a cause. The electricity company's confirmation now links the damage to enemy attacks, though no specific party is named.
The development is part of a broader pattern of infrastructure damage in Iran amid ongoing US strikes under Operation Epic Fury. The Zioneer has reported on air defense activations in Bushehr and other areas in recent days. Chabahar, a strategic port in southeastern Iran, has been a focus of reported strikes.
The identity of the attackers remains unconfirmed, and the footage of strikes on the port and an IRGC naval base has not been independently verified. The extent of damage beyond the power lines, and any casualties, are not yet known.
