About Makran
IRIS Makran (Persian: مکران) was the first forward base ship of the Islamic Republic of Iran Navy, in service with its Southern Fleet from 2021 until its destruction in the 2026 Iran war. It was named after a coastal region in southeastern Iran. A former crude oil tanker converted into a warship, she was known with the tentative title Khalij-e Fars (lit. 'Persian Gulf', a name reserved for the lead ship of Project Loghman) before her name being changed to the current. Though not officially acknowledged, TankerTrackers, a firm that tracks maritime traffic, has identified her as a Japanese-built ship completed in 2010, previously named Beta and earlier Al Buhaira, and whose AIS signal was last detected in 2019 near United Arab Emirates. Her intended task/purpose was to support naval units in remote waters, especially in the North Indian Ocean, the Bab-el-Mandeb and the Red Sea.
