British spy ship’s mission for Israel thwarted by Iran near Gulf.
A British spy warship attempting to assist Israel was intercepted by the Iranian Navy as it tried to move toward the Persian Gulf, reported The Asian Mirror on Sunday.
According to Iranian sources, the UK vessel had entered the northern Indian Ocean as part of an intelligence mission allegedly aimed at guiding Israeli missile strikes toward Iranian targets.
However, Iran’s advanced naval intelligence systems detected the ship’s movement in time.
The Iranian Navy immediately deployed war drones and issued a firm warning to the British vessel, forcing it to halt its progress toward the Gulf.
The British ship, according to reports, was specifically tasked with providing intelligence support to Israeli military operations in the region.
Iranian officials claimed that their timely and decisive action successfully thwarted the espionage attempt, preventing what could have been a major escalation in regional hostilities.
The incident marks another sharp spike in tensions between Iran and Western allies of Israel, raising concerns of wider naval confrontations in the strategically vital Persian Gulf waters.
