US Destroys Chabahar Port Surveillance Tower

US Destroys Chabahar Port Surveillance Tower

The United States recently attacked and destroyed a surveillance tower at Chabahar Port in Iran.

This tower was used by Iran's military group, the IRGC, to watch and sometimes target ships passing through a very important waterway called the Strait of Hormuz.

The US said this action was to protect ships and keep the sea routes open.

Iran confirmed the tower was destroyed but said the rest of the port is still working.

The attack also hit other places in Iran, causing many people to get hurt or killed.

Chabahar Port is very important for trade in the region and also for India, which uses it to reach other countries without going through Pakistan.
