I’ve seen nearly half-a-dozen articles about this, some mention pictures, but I have yet to see a single picture of the ship once it capsized.
Sabotage?!
Naval News: Iranian Navy Prone To Serious Accidents
Initial reporting suggests that it is due to a ‘technical failure; during repairs. However we are treating it as the cause is not yet known. Poor maintenance or a parking accident are most likely, but sabotage of some sort cannot be ruled out at this early point. Iranian frigates have been active in the Red Sea where they are suspected of aiding the Houthis attack merchant ships. Sahand has at times been deployed there.
The Iranian Navy (IRIN: Islamic Republic of Iran Navy) has had a series of serious mishaps in recent years. Among them:
Sahand’s sister ship Damavand (77) which capsized and sunk after running aground on January 10, 2018.
Then on June 2 2021 Iran’s then second largest warship, the Kharg, caught fire and sunk in the Gulf of Oman.
Another sister ship, Talayieh, rolled over in a dry dock in Bandar Abbas on December 6, 2021.
Other notable accidents have included the support ship Konarak hit by a missile on May 11 2020. That accident was friendly fire, the result of an Iranian missile.
