Iranian Quds Forces AMBUSHED US Navy SEALs Team In Persian Gulf — US Navy’s Response was BRUTAL

Описание: At exactly 5:47 p.m. in the Persian Gulf, 23 Iranian Quds Force operators executed a coordinated ambush against 8 US Navy SEALs conducting routine maritime interdiction—4 Boghammar fast attack boats worth $2 million armed with DShKM 12.7mm machine guns, 107mm rocket launchers, and RPG-7s erupting from concealed positions near oil platforms. Iranian commanders believed overwhelming firepower and surprise would eliminate the SEAL team before American support could arrive. What happened in the next 12 minutes reveals why 2 MH-60R Seahawk helicopters responding in 4 minutes fired AGM-114 Hellfire missiles destroying all 4 boats, killing 23 operators, and proving that ambushing SEALs means fighting the entire US Navy network.
This is the untold story of how Iranian Quds Force used a weapons-smuggling dhow as bait luring the SEAL Combatant Craft Medium into a kill zone, how DShKM heavy machine guns and RPG-7 grenades wounded 3 SEALs including one paralyzed by spine damage, and why the 4-minute helicopter response transformed Iranian tactical victory into catastrophic defeat. You’ll discover how GAU-21 .50-caliber door guns shredded fiberglass hulls at 760 rounds per minute, why 2 Hellfire missiles vaporized boats creating 60-foot fireballs, and how Iran’s $2 million investment in boats and elite operators was destroyed by $226,000 in American ammunition expenditure.
Inside this military documentary analysis:
• Iranian Quds Force coordinated ambush: 23 operators, 4 Boghammar boats, DShKM machine guns, 107mm rockets
• 8 Navy SEALs in Combatant Craft Medium conducting maritime interdiction operation
• MH-60R Seahawk 4-minute response: GAU-21 door guns, AGM-114 Hellfire missiles
• Hellfire terminal guidance: laser-designated, Mach 1.3, 20-pound HEAT warhead destroying boats
• Real cost analysis: $2M+ Iranian losses (boats, 23 operators) vs $226K US ammunition
• 1 SEAL paralyzed by spine damage, 2 wounded by shrapnel, 3 career-altering injuries
• USS Michael Murphy Arleigh Burke destroyer providing radar coverage and coordination
• Iranian Mohajer-4 drone providing real-time tactical feed to command boat
Technical Systems Covered:
• Combatant Craft Medium: 68-foot stealth aluminum, twin 1,600hp diesels, waterjet propulsion
• Boghammar fast attack boats: fiberglass hulls, DShKM 12.7mm heavy machine guns, $500K each
• MH-60R Seahawk: GAU-21 .50-cal door guns, AGM-114 Hellfire missiles, FLIR targeting
• AGM-114 Hellfire: laser guidance, Mach 1.3, 20-pound HEAT warhead, $70K each
• DShKM 12.7mm machine gun: Soviet-era heavy weapon, armor-penetrating rounds
• 107mm Type 63 rocket launcher: 11-tube ripple fire, unguided area saturation
• AN/SPY-1D radar: USS Michael Murphy tracking all surface contacts from 12 miles
• M2 Browning .50-cal and M240 7.62mm SEAL defensive weapons
This engagement proves isolated SEAL teams are never truly isolated—networked support transforms tactical disadvantage into overwhelming response capability. Iranian ambush achieved initial surprise wounding 3 SEALs including catastrophic spine injury, but 4-minute MH-60R helicopter arrival with Hellfire missiles destroyed all 4 boats before Iranian operators could exploit numerical advantage. The network extending from ocean surface to airborne helicopters to offshore destroyers created response speed that negated Iranian planning and tactical execution.
Learn why Iran’s $2 million boat investment and 23 elite Quds Force operators were eliminated by $226,000 American ammunition proving networked warfare favors coordinated response over isolated firepower superiority, how Hellfire missiles destroyed boats creating blast craters and 60-foot fireballs leaving zero survivors on 3 vessels, and why the ambush’s long-term cost includes $4 million lifetime VA medical care for paralyzed SEAL demonstrating hidden expenses beyond ammunition tallies.
