Iranian state media reported that three explosions were heard in Chabahar, a strategic port city in Iran. These explosions are part of ongoing U.S. military operations targeting Iranian coastal infrastructure, following President Donald Trump’s recent declaration of a ceasefire as “dead.” The strikes aim to curb Iran’s threats to navigation in the Strait of Hormuz. The latest incidents in Chabahar, which houses significant military and commercial facilities, underscore a geographical escalation in the conflict beyond the Strait. No casualties have been reported in this incident, though damage to infrastructure and power cuts were confirmed.
