Four of the Iranian navy’s primary surface combatants—including a Jamaran-class frigate—were likely sunk or crippled by March 5, according to Janes, an intelligence company specializing in military and national security analysis. In total, Iran’s navy has lost six of its seven frigates, its two corvettes and one of three ocean-going conventional submarines, said Alex Pape, head of the maritime team at Janes.
