US Targets Chabahar Port in Latest Airstrikes The United States launched another round of airstrikes on Iran, reportedly damaging key infrastructure at Chabahar Port in southeastern Iran. According to reports, a surveillance tower at the port collapsed during the attack, highlighting the intensifying conflict between Washington and Tehran. US Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth shared surveillance footage following the operation, while the Pentagon said the strikes were part of ongoing efforts to weaken Iran's military and logistical capabilities. Strategic Importance of Chabahar Port Chabahar Port holds significant strategic value for Iran and regional trade. The port has also received Indian investment as part of efforts to improve trade connectivity with Afghanistan and Central Asia while bypassing Pakistan. The latest strike marks the third reported attack on Chabahar since the conflict escalated, raising concerns over disruptions to regional trade and shipping operations. Conflict Enters Sixth Consecutive Night The US military confirmed that it carried out strikes for the sixth consecutive night, targeting what it described as military-linked infrastructure across Iran. Iranian authorities reported that at least eight people were killed overnight in the latest attacks, though independent verification of the casualty figures remains unavailable. As the conflict continues, fears are growing over its impact on regional stability and international maritime trade.
