Analyst Chananel Aviv reports new Iranian launches toward ships in the Strait of Hormuz, according to a Telegram post. No details on the number of launches, targets, or impacts are yet available.
Just hours after reports at 20:23 Jerusalem on Thursday indicated Iranian fire had struck several ships and launches were directed toward Gulf states, analyst Chananel Aviv reported additional Iranian launches toward ships in the Strait of Hormuz. The new report, posted on Telegram in the early hours of Friday, does not specify the number of launches, munitions type, or whether any vessels were hit.
The thread began at 20:23 Jerusalem with a report of the IRGC Navy launching multiple missiles at a vessel. Minutes later, a second report said Iranian fire had hit several ships and that launches were also aimed at Gulf states. Both reports were unverified and based on a single source. Aviv’s latest report follows the same pattern—single-source and unconfirmed.
The Zioneer has tracked the Iranian maritime campaign in the Strait of Hormuz for weeks. On July 7, The Zioneer reported that Iran had resumed ballistic missile attacks on commercial shipping, striking a Qatari LNG tanker. On June 26, The Zioneer detailed Iran’s strike on a cargo vessel amid an escalating maritime blockade. On June 11, Iran was reported to be launching cruise missiles at US warships. By June 28, shipping had shifted to the Omani side of the strait due to nightly Iranian drone launches.
The latest report remains unverified, with no independent confirmation of the launches, their targets, or any impacts. The information relies on a single analyst’s Telegram post, lacking official or military corroboration.
