The Israeli military carried out a major airstrike Wednesday targeting Iranian naval infrastructure in the Caspian Sea, significantly degrading Iran’s maritime capabilities in the region, according to the Israel Defense Forces (IDF).
Israeli Airstrike Targets Iranian Naval Facilities
Israeli Air Force fighter jets struck Iranian Navy port and base facilities hosting dozens of vessels, including missile ships and guard boats. The operation was conducted using naval and military intelligence, the IDF said.
Targets included missile ships equipped with aerial surveillance systems and anti-submarine weaponry, as well as support and patrol vessels stationed at the port.
The IDF also reported striking a naval command center responsible for coordinating Iranian operations in the Caspian Sea, along with infrastructure used for ship maintenance and repairs.
Israeli officials stated the strike was conducted in close coordination between the commanders of the Israeli Air Force and Navy, operating from the air force command center. They described it as one of the most significant operations since the start of Operation “Roaring Lion.”
The attack “impaired” Iranian naval activity and reduced its control over Caspian Sea operations, the military said. The IDF added that operations against Iranian military infrastructure would continue, further degrading the Iranian regime’s capabilities.
