Iran's largest navy ship the Kharg sank on Wednesday after catching fire in the Gulf of Oman, but the crew were safely rescued, Iranian media reported.
No further explanation was given for the latest incident in a region of sensitive waterways, where there have been accusations of attacks on ships owned by arch-enemies Iran and Israel.
State TV said the fire on Iran's highest-tonnage naval vessel started around 2:25 a.m.on Wednesday (21:55 GMT) near the Iranian port of Jask, where it was on a training mission.
The Gulf of Oman connects to the Strait of Hormuz where about a fifth of the world's oil passes.
Rescue operations for the Kharg went on for hours, the statement on state TV said, with all the crew disembarking.
"All efforts to save the vessel were unsuccessful and it sank," the semi-official Fars news agency reported.
In April, Iran said one of its vessels, the Saviz, had been targeted in the Red Sea, after media reports the ship had been attacked with limpet mines. read more
That came after Israel and Iran had blamed each other for a series of reported attacks on cargo ships since late February.
Iran has refused to recognise Israel since its Islamic Revolution in 1979 that toppled the U.S.-backed Shah. Israel sees Iran's nuclear programme as a threat to its existence.
The shipping incidents have occurred since U.S. President Joe Biden took office in January, pledging to rejoin Iran's 2015 nuclear containment deal with six world powers - abandoned by his predecessor Donald Trump in a move welcomed by Israel - if Tehran returns to full compliance with the accord.

Iranian air defense exercises, protection of nuclear facilities. The Iranian army and the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps held joint air defense exercises throughout Iran. The purpose of the exercises was to assess the effectiveness and readiness of the air defense systems of the armed forces. Scenario of air defense exercises, reflection of a strike on Iran's nuclear facilities. During the exercises, the latest medium-range air defense systems Khordad 15, Khordad 3 and Majid air defense systems were tested. According to Second Brigadier General Amir Abbas Farajpour, Iranian troops conducted a simulated attack by cruise missiles and UAVs. The results of the exercises were not reported, judging by the video, Iran has a well-developed system of underground bases not only for aircraft, but also for air defense systems.

Iran's new drone Meraj 532 may become Russian. Iran has tested a new kamikaze drone Meraj 532. According to Tasnim, this kamikaze drone can fly at a distance of up to 450 km and at an altitude of up to 3660 meters, with a flight duration of up to 3 hours. Drone warhead up to 50 kg. The drone is launched from a car, most likely it can also be launched using a starting accelerator. After the appearance of the novelty, Western circles began to say that the new Meraj 532 drone could also appear in Russia, for example, as a new version of the Geranium drones, of course, this is not officially commented on. It is not reported how the drone is controlled at such a distance, it is possible that a communication repeater drone is used. According to General Ali Kuhestani, the drone is easy to set up, which reduces the time of its preparation and increases the speed of reaction and use. The drone is equipped with piston engines and apparently can be produced in huge quantities. Western engineers generally appreciated the novelty, one of the advantages of Iranian drones, the low cost of manufacture.

The new missile has a range of 2,000 km and is equipped with a high-explosive fragmentation warhead weighing 1,500 kg. The rocket is equipped with a liquid fuel engine, and the engine itself is located in the fuel tank, which made it possible to reduce the length of the rocket to about 13 meters. The Khaibar missile is the latest upgraded version of the Khorramshahr class of missiles, a type of direct fire missile without the need for final guidance. According to Brigadier General Mohammad Reza, the features of the Khaibar missile are immunity to EW attacks and enemy air defense systems, the ability to use various types of warheads, mobility and the short time required to prepare for work.

Final tests of a simplified version of the Karrar tank, first shown in 2017, have passed in Iran. The tank was created by the Bani Hashem company on the basis of the Russian T-72S; it also uses the technical solutions of the T-90MS tank, which Iran previously wanted to buy, but could not for a number of reasons, as well as some design solutions of the American Abrams tanks. The Karrar tank has a laser range finder and an electro-optical fire control system. Despite the apparent similarity with Russian tanks, it has a different design of commander's panoramas and remote-controlled machine gun installations. Another tower and explosive reactive armor units. The Karrar tank can also be equipped with laser and radar irradiation warning sensors. The tank is equipped with a 125 mm smoothbore gun capable of firing anti-tank missiles. The tank can be equipped with a remote-controlled combat module with a 7.62 mm machine gun. The tank uses a carousel-type automatic loader. Tank weight 51 tons, crew 3 people, estimated engine power 1000 hp.
The new Iranian destroyer Deylaman has officially joined the Iranian Caspian Fleet. A new destroyer of the modified Moudge project was built to replace the frigate Damavand, which in 2018 hit rocks and broke in half. The Iranian corvette Deylaman, a destroyer according to Iran's classification, is now the most advanced ship of the Jamaran class series of ships, the ship's displacement is 1,500 tons. The destroyer's hull is built using low radar signature technology. The Deylaman destroyer is equipped with a modern all-round radar with an Eagle Eye phased array antenna, capable of detecting targets at a range of up to 200 kilometers. The ship was built according to a modified design and its exact characteristics are still unknown. The destroyer is equipped with a 76 mm Fajr-27 gun and Qadir cruise missiles with a range of 200 km. In the future, the ship will be equipped with a Nawab short-range air defense system and a Sayyad air defense system. The destroyer's helipad has an increased area. The Deylaman destroyer has four engines with four separate rows of shafts and propellers, which is necessary for greater mobility and maneuverability in the Caspian Sea.

The launch of a Dezful ballistic missile from the Shahid Mahdavi mother ship is shown in Iran. The Iranian Dezful solid-fuel ballistic missile is a continuation of the Zolfaghar project and is superior to these missiles due to the use of new technologies. The flight range of Dezful missiles is about 1000 kilometers. The multi-purpose combat ship "Shahid Mahdavi" of Iran was created on the basis of the civilian container ship Sarvin. The Shahid Mahdavi ship has a displacement of more than 2,100 tons, a length of 240 meters and a width of 27 meters. "Shahid Mahdavi" is equipped with a three-dimensional phased array radar, anti-ship, anti-aircraft and cruise missiles. The ship houses electronic warfare systems, helicopters, UAVs and sea boats.
Iran unveiled the first fully indigenous Arman missile defense system. This complex has already been shown before and even took part in exercises. The Arman anti-missile system was a further development of the Khordad-15 air defense system. The Arman air defense system combines both a launcher and a radar station; previously, a separate truck was used for the radar. By combining missiles with radar on one platform, we increased the mobility and speed of deployment of the complex; it is ready for work in three minutes. The Arman air defense system is equipped with three missiles and a radar with an active phased array; there can be an option without it. The Arman anti-missile system is capable of detecting targets at a distance of up to 180 km and hitting them at a distance of up to 120 km, simultaneously firing at 6 of them.
