America: We destroyed the Chabahar watchtower because of the IRGC...

CENTCOM's machine translation post:
On July 16, U.S. forces successfully destroyed the watchtower at Shahid Kalantari Port in Chabahar. This tower was part of a maritime surveillance network along the Iranian coast in the Sea of Oman, which the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps had used for decades to track and target commercial vessels passing through the Strait of Hormuz.

The destruction of this tower directly undermines the IRGC's ability to coordinate attacks against innocent civilian crews. Furthermore, this strike protects the freedom of navigation in the region's waters for all vessels, except those attempting to violate the ongoing U.S. maritime blockade against Iran.
