A new report describes the path taken by US Army unmanned surface vessels that penetrated a central Iranian Navy facility yesterday, Monday. The vessels reportedly entered through a narrow route and reached their target before exploding. The earlier report of the incident remains unverified by official sources.
A new report Tuesday evening elaborates on an earlier unverified claim, stating that US Army unmanned surface vessels that penetrated a central Iranian Navy facility entered through a narrow route before exploding. The new detail, reported at 18:32 Jerusalem, is the first elaboration of the initial account first published by The Zioneer at 10:14 Tuesday.
The initial report, published at 10:14 Tuesday, described a single unverified claim that US unmanned surface vessels had penetrated an Iranian Navy facility and exploded inside, without specifying the route or damage. The new report now says the vessels navigated a narrow passage to reach their target. Both reports remain unattributed to official sources and unconfirmed by either the US military or the Iranian government. Earlier Tuesday, at 00:11 Jerusalem, The Zioneer reported on the broader US strikes hitting Iranian naval headquarters near Chabahar and other coastal targets, but those reports did not include this facility.
The Zioneer has previously reported on US use of unmanned surface vessels, including a July 13 report at 20:35 Jerusalem describing a first operational use of such vessels against Iranian targets. The current unverified claims come amid a fifth consecutive night of US strikes on Iranian military infrastructure, as confirmed by CENTCOM.
The location of the specific facility, the extent of damage, and any casualties remain unspecified. No official confirmation or denial has been issued by either side.
