An Iranian official says Iran\u2019s navy obliged a US submarine to surface as it entered the Gulf \u201cviolating its border\u201d in the latest report of an apparent confrontation between Iranian and US forces in the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe US submarine was approaching while submerged, but the Iranian submarine Fateh detected it and carried out \u2026 manoeuvres to force it to surface as it went through the Strait [of Hormuz]. It had also entered into our territorial waters but \u2026 it corrected its course after being warned,\u201d navy commander Shahram Irani told state television on Thursday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThis submarine was doing its best, using all its capacities, to pass in total silence and without being detected,\u201d Irani said. \u201cWe will certainly reflect to international bodies the fact that it had violated our border.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Earlier this month, the US Navy said the nuclear-powered submarine Florida, equipped with a guided missile system, was operating in the Middle East in support of its Fifth Fleet based in Bahrain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There was no immediate comment from the US military to Iran\u2019s remarks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In early April, the Iranian navy said it identified and warned off a US reconnaissance plane outside the mouth of the Gulf.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In 2021, US and Iranian warships had a tense encounter in the Gulf waters when a ship commanded by Iran\u2019s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) cut in front of the USCGC Monomoy, causing the US Coast Guard vessel to come to an abrupt stop with its engine smoking.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
