The United States launched a series of attacks on Sunday that led to the destruction and sinking of 9 ships belonging to the Iranian navy, also targeting the naval command headquarters at the Konarak base in southern Iran.
US President Donald Trump wrote on his account: "I was just informed that we destroyed and sank 9 ships, some of which are large and relatively important. We will pursue the rest and the others will sink soon," adding sarcastically: "Except for that, their navy is doing a good job." Recent satellite images, published on Sunday, showed the extent of the destruction at the naval base, where the destroyed, sunken ships and damaged buildings appeared along the coast of the Gulf of Oman. The images, distributed by Vantur, were taken on March 1, 2026, clarifying the major impact of the recent American-Israeli attacks on the Iranian naval infrastructure. These moves come after oil tankers near the Strait of Hormuz were targeted by the Iranian Revolutionary Guard, while Israeli forces summoned about 100,000 reserve soldiers in anticipation of any possible attack, reflecting the escalation of tensions in the region.
