Satellite images released Monday show fires burning and vast plumes of black smoke rising from Iran\u2019s main naval headquarters at Bandar Abbas, with at least one vessel ablaze following a strike.<\/p>\n

The images, from Planet Labs<\/a>, were released within days of the U.S. and Israel launching targeted strikes on Iran, and ahead of President Donald Trump<\/a> saying he would not rule out sending U.S. troops into Iran if “necessary” amid Operation Epic Fury.<\/p>\n

The escalation comes as commercial tanker traffic through the Strait of Hormuz has effectively stalled, according to maritime intelligence firm Windward AI<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

According to the Times of Israel<\/a>, Iran\u2019s Revolutionary Guards (IRGC) commander also said the Strait of Hormuz was closed Monday, with Iran claiming it would set fire to any vessel trying to pass.<\/p>\n

Fox News National Security Correspondent Jennifer Griffin confirmed the Strait of Hormuz was not closed, according to CENTCOM.<\/p>\n

Bandar Abbas, the capital of Hormozgan Province, occupies a key position along the Strait of Hormuz and the port is a key base serving as the headquarters of the Iranian Navy<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“As of 10:56 a.m. GMT on March 2, 2026, the Port of Bandar Abbas is experiencing multiple active fires<\/a>, including one aboard a berthed vessel, while maintaining a significant combined military and commercial presence at port facilities,” Windward AI reported.<\/p>\n

“Three distinct fires are currently reported in the vicinity. Two are located at port infrastructure facilities, and one involves a vessel currently at berth.”<\/p>\n

Seventeen military vessels and five commercial ships remained docked despite the fires, the firm said, noting that the continued military concentration suggests “a heightened defensive posture rather than evacuation.”<\/p>\n

Windward warned that active fires at Iran\u2019s principal naval and commercial port introduce “additional operational uncertainty” and raise the risk of secondary maritime disruption across the Gulf.<\/p>\n

Video footage also shared by Iran International <\/a>appeared to show an attack targeting Iranian naval air facilities<\/a> in Bandar Abbas.<\/p>\n

Satellite imagery analyzed by BBC Verify<\/a> identified a damaged vessel about 230 meters (750 feet) long \u2014 consistent, it said, with a Makran-class forward base ship operated by the Iranian Navy.<\/p>\n

The Makran, a converted tanker measuring about 228 meters, is also a mobile maritime base and helicopter carrier capable of deploying up to five helicopters and fast-attack boats.<\/p>\n

The strike at Iran’s naval HQ came on the third day of open conflict, with U.S. Central Command saying it had sunk 11 Iranian vessels in the Gulf of Oman.<\/p>\n

“Two days ago, the Iranian regime had 11 ships in the Gulf of Oman, today they have ZERO,” CENTCOM said on X.<\/p>\n

Trump has said “annihilating” Iran\u2019s naval forces is a core objective of Operation Epic Fury, and that the U.S. has destroyed nine Iranian naval ships so far.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
