Pictures of sailors evacuating the vessel circulated on social media The vessel sank near the Iranian port of Jask, some 1,270 kilometers southeast of Tehran on the Gulf of Oman. Photos of sailors wearing life jackets evacuating the vessel as a fire burned behind them circulated on social media. State TV and semiofficial agencies referred to the
Kharg as a training ship. Fars published a video of thick, black smoke rising from the ship.
Secret Iranian officials offered no cause for the fire aboard the
Kharg. However, it comes after a series of mysterious explosions that began in 2019 targeting ships in the Gulf of Oman.
