Military facilities located in the city of Bandar Abbas in southern Iran, used by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Navy, have become targets of attacks by the United States and Israel.

Bandar Abbas is known as one of Iran's most important military ports and is considered a critical center for the control of the Strait of Hormuz.
As the attacks by the US and Israel on Iran continue, it has been claimed that a strategic naval base belonging to the Iranian Revolutionary Guards was targeted. According to initial reports, the attacks targeted military facilities used by the Revolutionary Guards Navy located in the city of Bandar Abbas in southern Iran.
Explosions occurred at the Bandar Abbas naval base, which is located near the Strait of Hormuz. After the explosions, smoke began to rise into the sky, and it is reported that the attacks specifically targeted naval facilities and military infrastructure belonging to the Iranian Revolutionary Guards.
ONE OF IRAN'S MOST IMPORTANT MILITARY PORTS
Bandar Abbas is known as one of Iran's most important military ports. The base, which houses warships, submarines, and fast attack boats belonging to the Iranian navy, is also seen as a critical center for controlling the Strait of Hormuz. Experts assess that weakening this base could seriously affect Iran's naval power in the region.
TARGETED SINCE THE EARLY DAYS OF THE WAR
In the operations initiated by the US and Israel against Iran, military bases, missile facilities, and Revolutionary Guards infrastructure across the country are frequently targeted. Satellite images and field reports show that especially the naval bases and naval elements in southern Iran have been heavily affected by the attacks.
The attacks are considered a continuation of the US-Israel operations that began on February 28, 2026, while Iran responds with retaliatory attacks against US bases in the region and targets in the Gulf.
