High-definition footage captured by IRGC naval forces shows the US warships being closely monitored in the Persian Gulf waters, south of Iran.
The media outlet didn’t specify when the footage was shot but said that it was released by the IRGC. The carrier in the video appears to be the Nimitz-class nuclear-powered USS Dwight D. Eisenhower (CVN-69). The video shows the carrier’s deck in detail, including the types and number of aircraft on it.
Its last reported deployment in the Persian Gulf was in December 2016. The Pentagon hasn’t commented on the publication yet.
The Islamic Republic of Iran plays a significant and leading role in establishing security in the Persian Gulf.
Ayatollah Khamenei has called for the enhancement of the Iranian naval forces’ presence in international waters and expanding the Navy’s power in balance with the merit of the Islamic Establishment.
