According to the U.S. military, the vessel targeted in the strike was an Iranian drone carrier identified as the IRIS Shahid Bagheri.

The ship is a converted container vessel that Iran had repurposed for military operations.

The Iranian government did not immediately acknowledge the reported attack.

Officials in Tehran have largely refrained from providing details about equipment losses during the war.

Central Command released the footage alongside its statement describing the strike.

The video showed the vessel ablaze following the impacts, though additional operational details about the attack were not immediately disclosed.

The IRIS Shahid Bagheri was introduced by Iran earlier in the year as part of its naval capabilities.

Iranian authorities inaugurated the ship in February 2025.

The vessel was designed to function as a platform capable of launching unmanned aerial vehicles.

Reports at the time of its launch described the ship as having a runway approximately 590 feet long intended for drone operations.

The converted container ship was also described as capable of traveling long distances without needing to stop at port for refueling.
