U.S. Strike Hits IRGCN Corvette Shahid Sayyad Shirazi off Bandar Abbas

Video footage released shows the IRIS Shahid Sayyad Shirazi, a Soleimani-class corvette of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Navy (IRGCN), being struck by a U.S. attack off the coast of Bandar Abbas. Following the hit, a munition — likely an anti-ship cruise missile — is seen cooking off from the vessel's flight deck. The strike represents a direct hit on an Iranian naval warship amid the ongoing U.S.-Iran military conflict.
