The surveillance tower's collapse was depicted in images circulated on social media by activists before being shared by Hegseth, with Iranian state media acknowledging a third round of strikes on the facility. While Iran stated the tower oversaw commercial traffic, its paramilitary Revolutionary Guard also maintains operations at ports across the country.
