Iranian Warships Appear To Try To Sneak Into North Sea

In an apparent attempt to hide from open source intelligence, a controversial Iranian warship hid behind another vessel as it left the Baltic this evening. This partially masked it from a static webcam with otherwise broadcasts all ship movements in and out of the Baltic via the Great Belt...

An Iranian warship sailing the deep waters of the Indian Ocean should set alarm bells ringing. The IRGC Navy (NEDSA) completed a pioneering long-range cruise in May, claiming to have passed waters near the US military base at Diego Garcia and beyond during 39 days at sea. Long-range deployments have previously been undertaken by the conventional Iranian Navy (NEDAJA), while NEDSA – as an arm of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps – is allied with the aggressive regional expansionism program that within the Iranian state is driven by the IRGC.

Iranian naval forces did not escape unscathed in the recent 12-day Israeli aerial assault on Iran which began on June 12.

In the first two days of the Israeli attack, regular Iranian Navy (Nedaja) vessels largely remained in port. As naval vessels are at their most vulnerable when tied up in port, this move suggested that the Nedaja command was putting on a non-confrontational display that assumed that Israeli targeting priorities would be elsewhere.

But on June 14, Nedaja vessels left the Bandar Abbas Naval Harbor - which is home base to most of the principal ships of the Nedaja Southern Fleet - in somewhat of a hurry, taking up dispersal positions largely in the sea area between Bandar Abbas and the islands of Qeshm and Hormuz. As of June 28, a single Hengam Class landing ship had returned to port, but the rest of the Nedaja fleet has not yet come home.

The IRGC Navy (Nedsa) suffered rather more attention. Also on June 21, the base of the Nedsa’s 5th (Imam Mohammad Bagher) Naval District at Bandar Lengeh was attacked, which could be one of the suspected locations of an IRGC coastal cavern housing missile boats; an unlocated cavern has featured frequently in Nedsa propaganda videos released in recent months. At the same time, imagery posted by an open-source blogger showed a warehouse had been damaged in the Nedsa area of the Bandar Abbas Naval Harbor, which the IDF described as having stored drones (top).

What the Israelis described as an IRGC intelligence-gathering ship was also struck in the same area of the dock. Some external open source observers suggested that the vessel attacked was the Nedaja intelligence collection frigate IRINS Zagros (H313), but the target description better fits either the Nesda’s MV Saviz or Behshad, or a sister ship; up-to-date imagery of the areas where these ships normally berth, in the Shahid Bahonar area in the north-west of the Bandar Abbas naval basin, does not provide easy identification of the target vessel.

As yet, a threat to shipping traffic in the Straits of Hormuz has not emerged. But ships of both the Nedsa and the Nedaja are still at sea, likely to be putting on a display of strength in the Straits area in an attempt to suggest that they are still a force to be reckoned with.

I'd have thought the Israelis would've used these airstrikes to sink what was left of Iran's navies.
 
What would it take to 'retrain the brains' of the nave there?

The Iranian Navy does very little to really threaten Israel.
