US fighter jets have reportedly struck military facilities near Iran's Chabahar Free Trade Zone. The sound of intense explosions was heard on a mountain behind Iran's critical trade zone, Voice of America's Persian-language service reported. The Chabahar Free Trade Zone is located in Iran's southeastern Sistan and Baluchestan Provinces along the border with Pakistan. A uniquely located port at Chabahar, which means 'four springs', is strategically important for India, giving it easy access to Afghanistan, Central Asia, and Europe.
