Under mysterious circumstances, Iran’s largest warship caught fire and sank in the Gulf of Oman on Wednesday, the latest tragedy to hit one of the country’s vessels in recent years amid tensions with the West.
According to the Fars news agency, the fire started about 2:25 a.m., and firefighters tried to put it out, but they were unable to preserve the 207-meter (679-foot) Kharg, which was used to replenish other ships in the fleet at sea and perform training drills. According to state media, the warship was evacuated with 400 sailors and trainee cadets on board, 33 of whom were injured.
The ship sank off the coast of Iran, near the town of Jask, some 1,270 kilometers (790 miles) southeast of Tehran.
