Parece ser que los Iranís estaban disparando misiles antiaéreos cuando un f-35 pasaba por ahí y como no lo han visto le han alcanzado.
Ha podido volver a una base que no se ha determinado.

Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has release a statement, accompanied by video footage, which claims to show the targeting of an American F-35A/B Lightning ll with a surface-to-air missile in the skies over Iran. This claim by the IRGC follows reports that a F-35 was damaged and forced to make an “emergency landing” at an air base in the Middle East due to hostile fire over Iran.

'StravaLeaks': France's aircraft carrier located in real time by Le Monde through fitness app

As the Charles de Gaulle and its strike group approach the Middle East, Le Monde identified a French sailor using the Strava fitness application in the Mediterranean Sea. This security flaw remains unaddressed despite our previous revelations.

On March 13, at 10:35 am, amid the Mediterranean's rolling waves, Arthur, a young French Navy officer whose first name has been changed, went for a run around the deck of the ship on which he serves. To log his daily run – a little over seven kilometers in 35 minutes – he used a smartwatch. His data then appeared online.

Arthur had a profile on the Strava fitness app that anyone could view, because it was set to "public." As a result, the young officer almost instantly revealed the exact location of the French aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle in the Mediterranean Sea as it traveled northwest of Cyprus, together with its escort, about 100 kilometers off the coast of Turkey, Le Monde found.


The presence in the region of the French naval strike group – composed of at least three frigates and a support vessel in addition to the aircraft carrier – was not a secret. On March 3, President Emmanuel Macron announced that he had ordered its deployment, just days after Israel and the United States attacked Iran. At the time, the Charles de Gaulle, France's only aircraft carrier, was operating in the Baltic Sea as part of NATO exercises and was scheduled to remain there until May. On March 6, French authorities announced that it had passed through the Strait of Gibraltar.

Nevertheless, uploading precise, near-real-time data on the naval strike group's location to a publicly viewable website represents a dangerous level of negligence, particularly in the context of war in the Middle East. At least two French military bases in the region have recently been struck by Iran-aligned forces, with a drone attack in northern Iraq killing one French soldier and wounding six others.


Multiple Strava profiles


Arthur's Strava account allowed anyone to track the movements of the Charles de Gaulle and its escort ships. On February 14, the officer recorded a run in open water, which was geolocated off the coast of France's Cotentin Peninsula. On February 26 and 27, Arthur was, according to his Strava data, on land, specifically in Copenhagen. He made a brief visit to the Danish capital city while the aircraft carrier was docked across the strait in Malmö, Sweden. And so, on March 13, the young officer was in the Mediterranean, northwest of Cyprus. Le Monde was able to cross-reference and confirm this data a few days later, when satellite images of that area of the eastern Mediterranean became available.
On this satellite image, taken just over an hour after Arthur's run around the deck, the French aircraft carrier's distinctive, 262-meter-long silhouette was clearly visible. We have added Arthur's geolocated running route to the image below. The route is shaped like a series of loops in the water, likely because the naval officer was running in circles on a moving ship. The run took place about six kilometers from where the vessel was photographed an hour later. Two explanations are possible: Either Arthur was running on the aircraft carrier, which then continued moving to the location in the photo, or he was aboard one of its escort ships. Either way, Le Monde was able to use Arthur's publicly shared fitness activity data to pinpoint the Charles de Gaulle's location.

When contacted for comment, the French Armed Forces General Staff stated that the act of publicly uploading a run route on Strava "does not comply with current guidelines," which "sailors are regularly made aware of." "Digital hygiene for sailors" features among the "prerequisites before any deployment," the General Staff said, adding that "appropriate measures will be taken by the command."


Arthur was not the only sailor Le Monde was able to identify on Strava. In recent days, at least one other public Strava profile posted geolocated fitness activities while aboard a naval vessel on mission, revealing his ship's position. Several public profiles also included photos of vessels' decks, other military servicemen and even fitness equipment set up inside the ships.

Previous security flaws


These security lapses are similar to those that Le Monde previously reported in autumn 2024. At the time, the "StravaLeaks" exposed security flaws linked to the French, American and Russian presidents' bodyguards using the fitness app. The app data not only allowed users to identify the agents and their families, but also to track them and potentially anticipate the presidents' movements.


In January 2025, Le Monde's investigations also uncovered data on the French Navy. French nuclear-powered ballistic missile submarine crew members revealed information about submarine patrol schedules via Strava. When contacted at the time, the Navy spoke of "negligence on the part of some personnel, (...) [that] does not constitute breaches that could affect the activities of the Ile Longue operational base," from where the submarines depart.

The next French aircraft carrier, the France Libre ("Free France"), is set to take over from the Charles de Gaulle by around 2038. With a maximum capacity of 40 embarked aircraft, equipped with three aircraft catapults and drones, Macron said its construction would mobilize "the country's brightest minds, the rarest expertise and the most demanding vocations." The question remains whether its sailors will keep their athletic accomplishments to themselves or continue to share them online on public accounts.
