This key vessel, operated by the Revolutionary Guard Corps Navy, got hit just hours into Operation Epic Fury in the Gulf of Oman. The Shaheed Bagari started as a commercial ship, but got rebuilt in 2022 with the massive flight deck for drones, helicopters, and defenses. People command also shut down Iran's false claim of sinking the U.S. aircraft carrier Abraham Lincoln, confirming it never came close. Meanwhile, the U.S. has now sunk all 11 Iranian naval ships in the area, ending decades of threats to international shipping. The broader conflict exploded after U.S. and Israeli strikes, killed Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Kaminay, with four American troops lost so far. President Trump warned the fight could stretch four weeks or more, urging Iranian forces to stand down or face worse, while calling on citizens to, rise up.

Casualties mount with over 550 dead in Iran, plus losses in Israel and Lebanon. As evacuations urge Americans out of 15 regional countries, U.S. forces press on to secure vital sea lanes for everyone.
