In the latest incident underscoring the Iranian regime’s ongoing struggles with its military infrastructure, the Iranian warship Sahand capsized while undergoing repairs at a shipyard near Bandar Abbas. This event adds to a series of high-profile mishaps that raise questions about the regime’s self-proclaimed military prowess.<\/p>\n
The official news agency IRNA reported<\/a> that while the Sahand was being repaired at the dock, it lost balance due to water ingress. Although the Navy claimed the vessel quickly regained stability, the incident still resulted in several minor injuries, with injured personnel being transported to the hospital. The exact timing of the incident remains undisclosed.<\/p>\n State-run media have published images of the capsized ship, attempting to downplay the severity by comparing it to similar incidents worldwide. For instance, the state-run Entekhab<\/a> website cited the sinking of the U.S. Navy’s USS The Sullivans at a dock two years ago, suggesting such accidents are not unprecedented.<\/p>\n Fars News Agency reported that the mishap occurred near a ship repair complex close to Bandar Abbas, speculating that the issue might have stemmed from a problem in the ship’s ballast tank or water infiltration during the repair process. This incident follows other significant naval failures, drawing attention to the regime military’s ongoing issues.<\/p>\n Iranian Regime's Rocket Launch Ends In Failure, Imagery Showshttps:\/\/t.co\/pFNxhHRkHC<\/a>#Iran<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/U6TmVykQno<\/a><\/p>\n — NCRI-FAC (@iran_policy) August 29, 2019<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
