Iranian Navy intercepts British destroyer in Indian Ocean assisting Israeli missile targeting: IRNA – Middle East Monitor

The Iranian Navy intercepted a British destroyer in the northern Indian Ocean meant to help guide Israeli missiles toward Iranian territory, state news agency IRNA reported Saturday.

According to a statement from the public relations office of the First Naval Zone, the destroyer was detected by Iranian intelligence systems Friday night and warned by combat drones before it could advance toward the Persian Gulf.

The vessel is said to have been forced to change course after being tracked in the Sea of Oman.
