U.S. Says It Has Sunk Over 30 Iranian Warships Including Their Brand-New ‘Drone Carrier’

An American airstrike has destroyed Iran’s quirky attempt at building an aircraft carrier, the Shahid Bagheri, which was only commissioned last year.

Operation Epic Fury has seen the United States destroy “over 30” Iranian warships, it was stated, as America moves to end Iran’s capacity to exert malign influence over the region and its ability to fund terrorism worldwide. United States Navy Admiral Bradley Cooper provided an update on the situation on Thursday evening, revealing the continuing pace of strikes and, in particular, Iran’s loss of its new ‘carrier’.

…our strikes against the Iranian Navy have intensified, You may have heard the president say just a little while ago that we have sunk or destroyed 24 ships. That was true at the moment. We are now up over 30 ships and in just the last few hours we hit an Iranian drone carrier ship. Roughly the size of a World War Two aircraft carrier, and as we speak it is on fire.

The “drone carrier ship” is the Shahid Bagheri, a converted civilian container ship. Footage published by U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) shows the distinct shape of the Shahid Bagheri take a hit on its flight deck, which erupts into a torrent of billowing flame. The video cuts to an unspecified later time, where the fire forward is clearly well established, and a second strike hits the ship aft, possibly on the superstructure which typically houses crew accommodation and the bridge.
