Kharg served years in iranian army . it served many years before as an tanker. It was old . maintaining it was expensive and recently it tend to develope problem in its missions. To be honnest . it must have been scuttled years before after stripped of anything valuable. Just hop no live lost here.

It was 50 year old ship . let face the truth . and in every previous mission it developed some problem. Iran must have got rid of the ship long before this accident happens.نه
Whachu saying man? It was old?
ضربه زدن جبران خسارت نمیکنه
تانکر گرفتن اما خیلی بازدارندگی داره

بعد قضیه اندونزی ملاها بادشون خوابید و دیگه تانکر نگرفتند
این تک نتیجش

The ship was delivered in 1984, whatever modernization efforts made the ship was approaching a half century in service. This isn’t an F-14 that you have to keep afloat. Iran can build Kharg like ships at this point or use retrofitted oil tankers.
The Kharg was the only proper logistics ship of IRI that allowed for long term deployments without constant port calls (such as anti piracy activities), and there is no replacement in sight.
What Amir said here is completely correct:
during “wartime” assuming the adversary is the US. The Iranian Navy won’t even make it out alive in the PG. So again for near future Kharg loss is being over exaggerated.
Iran's only potential adversaries are not the US. Iran's current conventional navy is still useful against regional adversaries.
Also, you and I know that the IRIN intends to build destroyers and larger submarines. That points to a stronger naval force for the Gulf of Oman, Arabian Sea, Indian Ocean. So they will be a more viable force against all adversaries including the USA. Those ships will need replenishment at sea and a Makran-class won't cut it. They're floating bases, not replenishment ships.
There's been no sign that Iran is working on a domestic design for a replenishment ship. Everyone knows how long Artesh designs and procurement programs take. The loss of Kharg will sting for a long time.
