"The imagery, collected Saturday by US spatial intelligence firm Vantor and obtained by Business Insider, shows some of the initial aftermath of the joint US and Israeli attack on Iran, a major combat operation against Tehran after the collapse of talks on nuclear weapons. The Vantor images show a frigate burning at the Konarak naval base in southern Iran. A large billow of smoke can be seen rising from the wounded vessel."
"Trump said earlier in his video message announcing the US campaign, Operation Epic Fury, that the US military was "going to annihilate" the Iranian navy, as well as the country's other military capabilities. Trump said the goal was to ensure that Iran can "never" have a nuclear weapon. The president also urged Iranian citizens to "take control" in the aftermath of US operations."
"War analysts at the Institute for the Study of War think tank said on Saturday that there had been unconfirmed reports of strikes on Iranian naval assets. "An Israeli OSINT [open source intelligence] account reported strikes on the IRGC Navy frigate Jamaran," ISW said. "There are also unverified reports of strikes on the IRGC Navy Imam Ali Navy Base in Chabahar, Sistan and Balochistan Province.""
Satellite images captured by US spatial intelligence firm Vantor reveal an Iranian frigate burning at the Konarak naval base in southern Iran following coordinated US and Israeli airstrikes. The operation, called Operation Epic Fury, represents a major military campaign against Tehran after nuclear weapons negotiations collapsed. President Trump announced the strikes aimed to annihilate Iran's navy and military capabilities, preventing Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons. Imagery shows smoke billowing from the damaged vessel with two nearby frigates appearing unscathed. Additional satellite data documents drone dispersal activity at nearby airbases. War analysts confirmed unverified reports of strikes on Iranian naval assets, including the IRGC Navy frigate Jamaran and the Imam Ali Navy Base in Chabahar.
