image sourced from original article at The Israel Defense Forces carried out a rare strike on Iranian Navy ships at Bandar Anzali port on the Caspian Sea on Wednesday evening, marking the first time Israel has directly targeted Iranian naval assets in that region. The port houses the Iranian Navy headquarters responsible for operations in the Caspian Sea.
The attack took place roughly 1,300 kilometers from Israeli territory, making it one of the most distant operations conducted by Israel against Iran. The move aligns with similar actions by the United States and signals a significant expansion of military operations aimed at countering Tehran.
A senior defense official described the strike as a dramatic development that changes the rules of engagement with Iran. The operation comes amid ongoing missile and drone launches targeting Israel and is seen as a direct response to Iran's growing ability to project power beyond its borders.
