The Central Command has shared footage of explosions onboard the large vessel
The US Central Command has released a video of what it said were strikes on Iran's drone carrier, IRIS Shahid Bagheri.
The footage shows two explosions rocking a large vessel at sea. "Today, an Iranian drone carrier, roughly the size of a WWII aircraft carrier, was struck and is now on fire," CENTCOM wrote on X.
CENTCOM said earlier that the vessel was hit during the first wave of strikes launched on Saturday.
A former container ship, the Shahid Bagheri joined the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps in 2025. According to Press TV, its 180-meter runway was designed to host surveillance and combat drones and helicopters.
On Wednesday, an American submarine torpedoed and sank the Iranian frigate IRIS Dena in international waters near Sri Lanka while it was returning from a naval drill hosted by India. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi denounced the sinking as an "atrocity at sea."
