00:23Iran's Armed Forces have issued a direct warning
00:26designating logistical and service facilities supporting the U.S. Navy's USS Gerald R. Ford Carrier Strike Group in the Red
00:35Sea as legitimate military targets.
00:40A senior military spokesperson stated that the carrier's presence poses a direct threat to Iran.
00:47Any infrastructure supporting the strike group, including ports, maintenance facilities or supply centers, could face attacks under wartime conditions.
00:58Iranian state media emphasized that the warning applies to the broader operational network of the carrier group.
01:05The USS Gerald R. Ford, the world's largest and most advanced aircraft carrier, has been operating in the Red Sea
01:14since early March 2026.
01:17It is leading a strike group conducting operations in support of Operation Epic Fury, a U.S. campaign targeting Iranian
01:26military sites, including air, naval and missile facilities.
01:32Despite a recent non-combat fire aboard, the carrier has maintained near-constant flight operations, supported by escort destroyers, cruisers
01:42and logistics vessels.
01:45The warning comes amid escalating hostilities, with thousands of strikes by U.S. and Israeli forces across Iran and Iranian
01:54retaliatory missile and drone attacks in the Gulf.
01:59Analysts say that while carrier strike groups are highly self-sufficient, shore-based logistics now face heightened risks from Iranian
02:08proxies or direct strikes.
02:12No immediate U.S. or Israeli response has been reported, but the warning raises concerns over maritime security, regional tensions
02:21and global energy supplies, highlighting the fragile state of the region.
