Iran’s navy provided details of the incident, identifying the American military as responsible for the attack and disclosing the type of weaponry allegedly targeted during the operation.

According to the Iranian naval authorities, the strike focused on a specific artillery weapon at the facility. The navy stated that the intended target was a 35mm cannon, providing further details about the equipment involved in the incident.

The account from Iran’s navy also described the weapons used in the operation as “two light projectiles,” although further details about the circumstances surrounding the attack were not immediately provided in the statement.

The reported injuries to two Iranian soldiers highlight the potential human cost of the incident at the southeastern naval facility. However, the available information did not specify the severity of their injuries or whether additional personnel were affected.
