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.
