A maritime traffic management center at Iran's Chabahar port was damaged in a US military strike, according to reports from Iranian state media.
The incident marks a further escalation in hostilities, extending the scope of US operations beyond the Strait of Hormuz to key infrastructure on Iran's southeastern coast.
Despite the damage to the navigation facility, port operations at Chabahar reportedly continued without interruption.
The strike follows a series of US Central Command (CENTCOM) actions over the weekend, which targeted surveillance infrastructure, communications systems, and air defense sites in the Strait of Hormuz.
Those earlier strikes were launched in response to an Iranian drone attack on a cargo ship in the strait, signaling a significant shift in the regional security posture.
The development raises fresh concerns for global shipping and energy markets.
