PanARMENIAN.Net – Iran says one of its surveillance planes has shot
video and photographed a U.S. aircraft carrier during an Iranian
drill near a strategic waterway in the Persian Gulf, AP reported
citing the official IRNA news agency.
IRNA on Thursday, Dec 29, quoted Rear Adm. Mahmoud Mousavi as saying
this shows Iran’s navy is “observing moves by foreign forces” in
the area.
IRNA’s report didn’t provide details or say which U.S. carrier was
filmed. It’s unclear what value such footage could have.
Iran is holding a 10-day military exercise in international waters
beyond the Strait of Hormuz – the passageway for one-sixth of the
world’s oil supply. The report follows U.S. warnings over Iranian
threats to choke off traffic through the strait if Washington imposes
sanctions targeting Iran’s crude exports.
