An Iranian report circulating on Telegram claims that the Emirati-flagged vessel GFS GALAXY was struck by an Iranian cruise missile in the Strait of Hormuz and sank. The report is unverified and no independent confirmation is available.
An Iranian report posted on the source early Monday morning claims that the Emirati ship GFS GALAXY was attacked by an Iranian cruise missile in the Strait of Hormuz and sank. According to the report, the vessel was hit and subsequently sank. No details on the crew or cargo have been provided.
The Zioneer has previously reported on several other incidents in the Strait of Hormuz and the Persian Gulf involving Iranian attacks on commercial vessels. Those incidents included strikes by ballistic missiles, drones, and cruise missiles, with varying degrees of confirmation. The reported sinking of a ship would mark a significant escalation.
The claim is currently sourced from a single Iranian report and has not been corroborated by independent sources, including maritime agencies or the ship's owner. Further details are awaited.
