The Jask coast and the eastern approaches to Hormuz
Notable history
The second district's headquarters was moved to Jask, on the Gulf of Oman side of the strait, in a reorganisation that gave the conventional navy a seat outside the Gulf and expressed in geography the division of emphasis between the two services. Jask is also the terminus of the Goreh–Jask pipeline that Iran built to export crude without passing the strait — so the district's seat is at once naval and economic. Iranian media reported United States strikes at Jask on 1–2 September 2026, carried here as an Iranian report.
Strengths
A seat beyond the strait, from which the conventional navy's outward orientation is operationally possible rather than merely stated.
Limitations
An exposed coast facing open water and a superior opponent, with the export terminal beside it. No vessels, dispositions or condition are recorded.
Related locations
Jask: The district's seat is the same port as the export terminal; the association is geographic and describes no naval presence at the terminal.
Key events
United States and Iranian exchange of strikes
United States Central Command states it struck Iranian military sites after the IRGC attempted to attack United States troops and commercial shipping in the strait; Iranian media report strikes at Sirik, Konarak, Bandar Abbas, Jask, Asaluyeh, Ahvaz and Qeshm. Iran conducts retaliatory strikes against United States facilities in Jordan, Bahrain and Iraq, and Kuwait reports its air defences engaging drones and missiles.
