IRIS Jamaran
2007 Moudge-class frigate
IRIS Jamaran (Persian: جماران) was the lead ship of the Iranian Moudge-class frigate launched in early 2010 in Bandar-e-Abbas, Iran. Iran stated that the design and building of Jamaran was among the greatest achievements of the Iranian Navy and IRGC Navy and the ship's launch marked a major technological leap for Iran's naval industries. The ship was designed for a crew of 140. Jamaran combined anti-submarine assets with other systems of weapons capable of dealing with surface and air threats as well.
Jamaran was sunk on 28 February 2026 by a U.S. airstrike while in port.
Description
Weapons systems
The primary weapon deployed by Moudge-class vessels is the Sikorsky SH-3 Sea King, which acts in concert with shipboard sensors to seek out and destroy submarines at long range. The Moudge class also carries a close-in anti-submarine torpedo system, a 324 mm (13 in) light torpedo with a 30 kilometres (19 mi) range, mounted in triple torpedo launchers on either side of the stern.
To deal with surface forces, the vessel is equipped with four Noor / C-802 surface-to-surface anti-ship cruise missiles, mounted in box launchers on the roof of the upper deck level between the radar and the main mast pointing towards either sides. The single shot hit probability of the Noor, with a range of 170 km (110 mi), is estimated to be as high as 98%.
For anti-aircraft self-defense, the Moudge class is equipped with four medium range Fajr surface-to-air missiles (reversed engineered from the RIM-66/SM-1 standard missile) with 74 km (46 mi) range, and 24.4 km (15.2 mi) flight ceiling, mounted in box launchers at the deck above the main deck level in front of the helicopter landing pad.

Why this record matters
“IRIS Jamaran” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, IRIS, Jamaran and Moudge-class provides the most credible route into that argument.
Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated Mar 24, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q3492549. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2010 and 2026.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
