A new report from Iranian sources, circulating via a security-focused the source, claims that the United States struck the civilian maritime control tower at the port of Chabahar for the second time. The tower is used to monitor commercial vessel traffic approaching the Strait of Hormuz. The claim is unverified and comes from a single source; no details on damage or casualties have been reported.
Earlier today, at 07:44 Jerusalem, The Zioneer reported unverified claims of American strikes on Chabahar port city. Separately, on July 9, The Zioneer reported that an overnight US strike had hit the port's observation tower — identified as the civilian maritime control tower in the current report — rather than the airport control tower. That earlier strike was also based on single-source claims.
The current report explicitly states this is a second attack on the same tower. Iranian state media has not commented on the latest claim. The situation remains unverified and developing.
