United States Central Command (CENTCOM) has issued a warning urging civilians in Iran to immediately avoid port facilities where Iranian naval forces are operating. The statement specifically advises Iranian dockworkers, administrative staff, and commercial vessel crews to stay clear of naval ships and military equipment belonging to the Iranian Navy and the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Navy (IRGCN). CENTCOM warned that port facilities used for military operations could lose their protected civilian status and become legitimate military targets under international law if utilized by Iranian naval forces.

Analysts from the CyberBoroshno channel have released footage showing the aftermath of yesterday’s missile strike on the Kremniy-EL plant in Bryansk, Russia.

According to Reuters, citing an Israeli official, Mojtaba Khamenei, Iran’s new Supreme Leader, was likely lightly injured during the opening strikes of the war, which may explain why he has not appeared publicly since the attacks. Separate reporting by CNN indicates he may have suffered trauma to one eye, facial cuts, and a broken foot during the first-day attack. Despite the reports, Iranian officials say Khamenei is still alive and continuing to operate, though he has remained out of public view since being elevated to the position following the death of his father, Ali Khamenei, in the February 28 strikes. Analysts say the injuries—and security concerns—could be the main reason for his continued absence from public appearances during the ongoing conflict.
