Damaged spy ship withdrawn
Iran has pulled back to port the damaged spy ship 'Saviz' in the Red Sea and replaced it with a new spy ship, the 'Beshdad', according to satellite images which showed the vssel sailing into and stopping near the Bab el-Mandeb Strait. The cargo vessel is believed to be a spy ship gathering intelligence in the strategic waterway for Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps. It had set sail from the port of Bandar Abbas in early July, and arrived in the Bab el-Mandeb nine days later. A few days after the arrival of the Behshad another Iranian ship registered as a cargo vessel, the 'Saviz', was seen by satellite being pulled away by two tugs. She had patrolled the Bab el-Mandeb Strait since 2016, but was damaged in April, when a limpet mine, attached to the vessel, exploded. It was widely believed that Israel was responsible for the attack. As well as monitoring traffic in the strategic waterway, the spy ships are thought to also be engaged in help the Iran-backed Houthi rebels fighting in Yemen.
