The destruction of the observation tower at Shahid Kalantari port in the port city of Chabahar will reduce "the IRGC's ability to track and strike commercial vessels in the Strait of Hormuz," as well as attack civilian crews, the U.S. Central Command stated.
"Furthermore, the strike protects freedom of navigation in regional waters for all vessels, except those attempting to violate the ongoing U.S. naval blockade against Iran," the military added.
The attack on the facility occurred amid US efforts to limit Iran's control over the Strait of Hormuz.
