At least 20 people killed after Iranian destroyer mistakenly shoots and sinks a second Iranian vessel during a naval exercise in Persian Gulf – reports
FILE PHOTO: In this photo provided Friday, Dec. 27, 2019, by the Iranian Army, a warship sails while approaching to the Iran's southeastern port city of Chahbahar, in the Gulf of Oman.
Initial reports claim a C-802 Noor missile was fired from the Jamaran and accidentally struck the Konarak, a general-purpose vessel. The Iranian Navy will issue an official statement in the next few hours, according to knowledgeable sources. Late last month, there was a dangerously close confrontation between US Navy vessels and Iranian Navy boats close to Iranian territorial waters in the Gulf. US President Donald Trump took to Twitter, saying he had instructed the US Navy to shoot down and destroy Iranian gunboats if they harass US ships.
