Iran launched ballistic missiles at ships in the Strait of Hormuz on Tuesday afternoon, according to Dror Balazada of The Zioneer. The report states that the US is expected to respond to the attack. The strike follows an earlier ballistic missile attack on commercial shipping at 04:16 Jerusalem, when a Qatari LNG tanker was among vessels hit, as The Zioneer reported. The waterway has been a flashpoint for weeks, with repeated exchanges between Iranian and US forces. The current attack appears to be a significant escalation, as ballistic missiles were used against ships. No details on casualties or damage are yet available.
