CENTCOM: US Forces Strike and Sink Iranian Jamaran-Class Corvette at Chahbahar

U.S. Central Command announced that an Iranian Jamaran-class corvette was struck by U.S. forces at the outset of Operation Epic Fury and is sinking at a Chahbahar pier in the Gulf of Oman. CENTCOM posted 'Abandon ship' echoing Trump's call for Iranian forces to lay down their weapons. The Jamaran-class corvette can accommodate up to 140 crew members and carries anti-submarine and air-defense missile systems, representing the first confirmed destruction of an Iranian naval vessel in the conflict.
