The Iranian navy foils a "British spying mission" in the Sea of Oman.

The Iranian Navy forces announced that they have intercepted a British spy destroyer that, according to the Iranian narrative, was conducting intelligence operations in the Sea of Oman, described as an attempt to direct Israeli missiles towards Iranian territories. An official statement from the Iranian army stated that the British destroyer infiltrated the northern Indian Ocean on the night of Friday, June 14, and that Iranian naval intelligence systems detected its movements in a timely manner. According to the statement, the mission of the destroyer was linked to a possible attempt to support Israeli missile attacks on targets inside Iran. Iranian media reported that Iranian naval combat drones issued a direct warning to the British destroyer, prompting it to change its course and move away from the area towards outside the Arabian Gulf. The statement indicated that the destroyer "fell into the trap of Iranian intelligence and operations forces," thwarting its mission and preventing it from advancing towards the Gulf waters. So far, there has been no official comment from the British side regarding these accusations or the circumstances of the incident. This development comes amid escalating tensions between Iran and Israel, and international warnings of the widening scope of tension in the region, increasing the sensitivity of the security situation in the Strait of Hormuz and the Sea of Oman, two of the world's most important maritime passages.
