🇮🇱❌🇮🇷🇷🇺— The Israeli military launched airstrikes on ships in the major Caspian Sea port of Bandar Anzali in Gilan province, northern Iran, which Iran uses for trade with Russia. Among the targeted vessels was the Moj-class frigate Iris Delman, based at the headquarters of the Fourth Naval District, Artesh.

On March 19, Israeli media reported that the Israeli strikes on Bandar Anzali had severed a vital supply line between Iran and Russia, including essential goods such as wheat imports and military equipment. Separately, an Israeli journalist confirmed reports that the Israeli military may have targeted a ship returning from Russia within the past 24 hours, suspected of carrying drone technology.

The Israeli military's raids on Bandar Anzali on March 18 came after reports that Russia was supplying Iran with Shahed drones, Russian-made and possibly modified. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky told CNN on March 15 that he had seen intelligence that confirmed 100% that Iran had used Russian-made Shahed drones, "with Russian specifications," to attack US bases in the Middle East.
