A report by Israeli news outlet ynet on Friday evening stated that Iran struck a vessel attempting to traverse the Strait of Hormuz without authorization. The brief report provided no additional details on the vessel's identity, nationality, damage, or casualties.
The incident follows an earlier report today (Friday 09:42 Jerusalem) of an Iranian attack on a ship off the coast of Oman, which The Zioneer covered. Both reports are part of an ongoing pattern of Iranian naval activity in the waterway.
Since early June, Iran has repeatedly struck vessels in the Strait of Hormuz, claiming the right to close the strait and demand payment for passage. The Zioneer has documented at least eight separate incidents, including strikes on commercial ships and threats by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. The latest report adds to the growing tension in the strategic waterway.
