The conflict between the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and the US Navy was shown on video.
The network published a video of a recent incident in the Gulf of Oman between the forces of the IRGC and the US Navy. The confrontation was filmed, among other things, from Iranian drones.
The footage shows how IRGC fighters on a Bell 412 helicopter disembark on a Sothys tanker flying the flag of Vietnam. Several small boats also approached the vessel, including the catamaran vessel Shahid Nazeri. The US Navy's Arleigh Burke-class destroyers The Sullivans (DDG-68) and Michael P. Murphy (DDG-112), as well as a Sentinel-class rapid response boat, also arrived at the scene. The MH-60R Seahawk helicopter, which was launched from The Sullivans or Michael P. Murphy, also appears in the video.
The video shot from above allows you to see that the Iranian vessels are almost coming close to the destroyer. And the IRGC soldiers are pointing deck machine guns at the American ship.
Recall, according to Iran, the incident was caused by an attempt by the United States to seize an oil tanker. The American side claims that it strictly followed the norms of international maritime law.
