United States forces have struck another Iranian missile corvette from the Shahid Soleimani class in the Persian Gulf, according to open-source reports.
The vessel, identified as IRIS Haj Qasem, was reportedly hit on March 8, 2026, while anchored off Bandar Lengeh on Iran’s southern coast.
Visual analysis of footage shared on social media confirmed the identity of the catamaran-style warship.
Open-source claims suggested that three vessels were targeted in the strike, although only the Shahid Soleimani-class corvette has been visually confirmed so far.
Images and video footage circulating online appear to show an explosion on a vessel believed to belong to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Navy (IRGCN).
The footage was shared by the OSNITdefender account, which said the blast happened after a US strike off the coast of Bandar Lengeh.
