Iranian Military Plane Takes A 'Close-up' Of A U.S. Aircraft Carrier In The Strait Of Hormuz



Times of Israel: Iran military plane takes close-up film of US aircraft carrier

WATCH: Revolutionary Guards operation uses navy plane to film and identify American vessel in the Strait of Hormuz

Iranian plane took close-up video and photographs of a US aircraft carrier in the Strait of Hormuz, and the material was published by an Iranian government-affiliated news agency.

The clip shows an operation by the Iranian Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) and was said to be filmed from a Harbin Y-2 plane. Accompanied by menacing music, the published video also shows the American vessel’s crew looking in the direction of the camera.

A report by the Iranian Tasnim news agency said that Iran has been carrying out reconnaissance work in the Persian Gulf for a while.

WNU Editor: I am sure that this Iranian reconnaissance plane was being watched very closely by the U.S. Navy as it filmed this U.S. aircraft carrier.

On a side note .... Gulf to be left without US aircraft carrier for first time in 7 years (The National).
