Iranian State TV has aired a shocking animated video showing how the country’s high-tech submarines could quickly sink an American aircraft carrier. The alarming video comes just months after the US deployed a similar carrier strike group to the Persian Gulf after Iranian threats to close the Strait of Hormuz over sanctions. Footage of the military strike begins by showing the US aircraft carrier strike group accompanied by four destroyers.
An Iranian submarine then surfaces and fires missiles that wipes out the entire carrier strike group.
The state TV clip ends by showing the five US navy ships sinking to the bottom of the ocean.
The voiceover, translated by the Middle East Media Research Institute, says: “Our Iran has the technology to manufacture very advanced Ghadir-class submarines”.
Washington DC is on alert folllowing the eerie footage, after US deployed the USS John C. Stennis along the Persian Gulf in December last year.
The latest escalation in the tension between the US and Iran comes after the Islamic Republic unveiled a new ballistic weapon.
Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) revealed a missile with a range of 1,000km – which means Iran could strike Israel and Western military bases in the Middle East.
In response, the United States vowed to remain “relentless” in pressuring Iran to deter its missile programme.
State Department deputy spokesman Robert Palladino said: “Iran’s blatant disregard for international norms must be addressed.
“We must bring back tougher international restrictions to deter Iran’s missile programme.”
The Revolutionary Ground also unveiled new personnel carriers, a mobile watch tower and armoured vehicles.
Iran’s Fars new agency also confirmed that the new surface-to-surface missile was tested inside a missile factory described as “an underground city”.
Last week, Iran’s Supreme National Security Council Secretary pledged to continue to supply weapons to its proxies in Lebanon and Gaza so they can respond to Israel’s “acts of stupidity with hellfire.”
