Imagery showing damage at the naval base in India-operated Chabahar Port in southeast Iran surfaced on February 28, 2026, during the reporting window from 7:15:19 PM to 8:15:19 PM UTC, according to an X post by @FaytuksNetwork citing The New York Times (https://x.com/FaytuksNetwork/status/2027825555110826294). The imagery depicts damage at the naval facility within Chabahar Port, which India operates under a 10-year agreement signed in 2016 to enhance regional connectivity. The post emerged over the past hour, with no official Indian government statement confirming the extent or cause of the damage released within this period. This development follows a new Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) issued earlier for an Indian Air Force exercise at northern borders, reported between 5:45 PM and 6:45 PM UTC, and External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar's conversation with Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar around 4:15-5:15 PM UTC calling for de-escalation in West Asia, as previously reported.
