US Strikes Hit Chabahar Port — India's Gateway Project Is Now a War Zone
The Hindu·Saturday, 18 July 2026
US airstrikes on Iran have reportedly damaged Chabahar port, with Iranian state media acknowledging a third round of strikes on the facility. A tower at the port is said to have collapsed. Chabahar has been a repeated target of American military action during the ongoing conflict.

Chabahar port is India's most strategic overseas infrastructure investment — built to give India a trade route to Afghanistan and Central Asia that bypasses Pakistan. Damage to it directly threatens India's geopolitical and economic interests in the region.
