In a historic shift of the current conflict, the Israeli Air Force (IAF) has launched a precision strike on the Bandar Anzali naval base. This marks the first time Israeli operations have reached the Caspian Sea, successfully targeting Iran’s Northern Fleet.
According to official statements, the raid decimated several high-value assets, including:
- The Deylaman Frigate: A modern Moudge-class vessel.
- Missile Ships & Patrol Boats: Multiple auxiliary and combat craft.
- Strategic Infrastructure: The Northern Fleet headquarters and a major shipbuilding plant.
Analysts suggest this strike disrupts a critical supply corridor between Tehran and Moscow. By neutralizing these northern assets, Israel has significantly degraded Iran’s maritime command and control beyond the Persian Gulf.
