Iran's ambassador to Russia says foreign military presence in the region is making security worse, not better.
He claimed the Strait of Hormuz was open before the U.S. struck Iran, accused Gulf states of falsely believing American bases guarantee their safety, and insisted the Caspian Sea has had no security issues apart from the U.S.-Israeli strike on Anzali port.

Israeli Navy intelligence reveals how a team of four tracked Iranian warships across the Caspian Sea, enabling an IAF strike that destroyed six vessels, a naval command center, and a maintenance facility.
"I spoke to the pilot above the target. He asked me to confirm. I identified it, gave approval and he launched.
Within minutes, the vessels were destroyed."
The strike hit four missile boats, a frigate carrying torpedoes and a helicopter pad, and a support vessel. Israeli teams had tracked some targets for years.
"The challenge was finding the Iranian warships. We simply scanned the Caspian Sea until we identified them."

Israeli strikes hit Bandar Anzal and the Caspian Sea overnight, destroying several Iranian Navy vessels and naval infrastructure, the IDF says.
Targets included a corvette, four missile boats, auxiliary ships, guard boats, a command center, and a shipyard. Some were docked, others at sea.
The military says the missile boats, though not an immediate threat from the Caspian, possess anti-aircraft and anti-submarine capabilities that could endanger Israeli aircraft over Iran.
The strike was planned days in advance using Naval and Military Intelligence and marks the first IDF operation in this region of Iran during the current conflict.
