BAKU, Azerbaijan, March 19. The Iranian fleet
in the Caspian Sea has been fully destroyed, Israeli Prime Minister
Benjamin Netanyahu said, Trend reports.
“We have destroyed the entire Iranian fleet in the Caspian Sea,”
he said.
According to him, Iran no longer has the capability to enrich
uranium or produce ballistic missiles.
Since no concrete agreement was reached in negotiations between
the United States (U.S.) and Iran over the nuclear program, the US
and Israel began military airstrikes against Iran on February 28.
In response, Iran launched missile and drone attacks on Israel and
U.S. military facilities located in countries across the region,
starting the same day.
On the first day of the air strikes against Iran, Iran’s Supreme
Leader Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei and several high-ranking
military officials were killed. On March 8, Iran’s Assembly of
Experts elected Seyyed Mojtaba Khamenei as Iran’s third Supreme
Leader by majority vote.
From March 1 through March 5, the confrontation expanded
further, affecting several countries across the Middle East.
According to information, the U.S. side suffered losses of 13
dead and more than 140 wounded.
The ongoing conflict has significantly threatened the region’s
energy infrastructure and maritime transport. Oil prices have
surged on global markets due to heightened security tensions around
the Strait of Hormuz, prompting several countries to advise their
citizens to leave the region.
