The largest military ship of the Iranian Navy Potted in the Oman Bay after caught fire with unexplained circumstances. This is reported by NBC.
According to Iranian information agencies, the ship sank near the Iranian port of Jask. The fire began at night. The whole team was able to get away from the side unharmed. The ship was at the training mission.
Harg ship (Kharg) was one of the few ships of the Iranian Navy, capable of ensuring replenishment of reserves for other ships in the sea. It was also used as a cargo ship and served as a platform for helicopters.
Iranian officials did not call the causes of the fire on board the ship. From the end of February, Israel and Iran accused each other in reports of attacks on cargo ships, which exacerbates a long-term shadow war in the waters of the Middle East between the two countries.
April 7 reported that the Israeli armed forces hit the Iranian ship in the Red Sea, presumably related to the intelligence activities of the Corps of the Islamic Revolution. At the end of March, in the Arabian Sea, Iran inflicted a rocket strike on the ship owned by the Israeli company XT Management.
