The US military’s Central Command said on Monday that in the latest attacks on Iran, sea drones hit “a submarine and ship maintenance facility” at the Bandar Abbas Naval Base on the country’s southwest coast in the Strait of Hormuz.
CENTCOM also shared a video in its social media post and said that the strikes were carried out using “three Corsair unmanned surface vessels … marking the first time American forces have employed sea drones in combat operations.”
“Last night’s strikes degraded Iran’s ability to continue attacking commercial shipping,” CENTCOM said.
The black and white video shared in the post was labelled “unclassified” and showed a small watercraft approaching a raised dock structure holding what appeared to be a submarine before blowing up.
