The United States has launched a fresh round of unprovoked military assaults against Iran, with attacks reported on the southeastern port city of Chabahar, where electricity infrastructure, port facilities, and a hospital were affected.

The attacks were carried out on Wednesday, disrupting electricity supplies across parts of Chabahar after three power transmission lines were knocked out, while projectile fragments also struck Imam Ali Hospital, Iranian media outlets reported.

Residents of Chabahar and the nearby city of Konarak reported hearing several explosions after strikes carried out by American warplanes.

Tasnim News Agency, citing eyewitness accounts, said around 10 explosions were heard in the two cities. The agency also reported power outages in parts of Chabahar.

The Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting (IRIB), the country’s national broadcaster, reported that several projectiles struck Chabahar, causing damage to Shahid Beheshti Port, Kalantari Port, and the city's Vessel Traffic Control Tower.

The broadcaster also reported that about half of Chabahar lost electricity following the aggression.

The managing director of the Sistan and Baluchestan Province’s Electricity Distribution Company said three power transmission lines in Chabahar County were knocked out.

He, however, said repair teams had already restored two of the damaged lines to service and expected the remaining line to be restored shortly.

According to some unofficial reports cited by Tasnim, the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) Navy's Imam Ali Naval Base in Chabahar was also bombed by US warplanes.

Tasnim later reported, though, that calm had returned to the area and that no further explosions were being heard.

The reported attacks coincided with explosions in several other locations across southern Iran.

Fars News Agency reported that at around 11:15 a.m. (local time), several explosions were heard in Bandar Abbas and Sirik in Hormozgan Province, adding that coastal air defense units in Bandar Abbas and Qeshm Island were engaging hostile targets.

An IRIB correspondent reported three explosions near Tahrouyi Village in Sirik.

Separate reports from IRIB and Fars said explosions were also heard on Abu Musa Island, which also belongs to the province, with residents reporting three blasts.

Fars additionally reported several blasts in the province’s port city of Jask.

In Bushehr Province, residents of the city of Choghadak reported hearing three relatively powerful explosions, although the exact locations of the blasts had not been determined.

Meanwhile, the US Central Command that oversees the American troops deployed to the West Asia region, announced that, on the orders of President Donald Trump, it had begun military operations against Iran with the self-described aim of reducing the country's ability to exercise control over the Strait of Hormuz.

LEAVE THE FUCKING HOSPITALS ALONE YOU DISGUSTING FUCKS! Seriously! Truly the Great Satan. There is never a good reason, from any position, moral or strategic to bomb a hospital. We know it's morally wrong cause it's bombing a hospital, no need to explain. Strategically it has been shown over and over to be a really big source of blowback, the bombing of Al Shifa being a motivating factor behind 9/11. I also dont really see any strategic gain using your expensive ass bombs and planes etc to rain perdition upon the sick and injured and those who are helping them. It's just pure distilled evil. Demonic doesnt describe cruelty like this. Cut it the fuck out! If the UN didnt suck they would have a task force to blow up a hospital for hospital. America deserves so many 9/11s there wouldnt be a single shed left without a plane on top

To learn about and discuss meaningful news, analysis and perspectives from around the world, with a focus on news outside the Anglosphere and beyond what is normally seen in corporate media (e.g. anti-imperialist, anti-Zionist, Marxist, Indigenous, LGBTQ, people of colour).
To encourage community members to contribute commentary and for others to thoughtfully engage with this material.
To support healthy and good faith discussion as comrades, sharpening our analytical skills and helping one another better understand geopolitics.
