Iranian state television reported Sunday that the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) attacked an oil tanker that had deviated from the shipping lane designated by Iran. No details were provided on the vessel's identity, location, or possible casualties. The report relies on a single Iranian source and has not been independently verified. The Zioneer has previously covered multiple IRGC strikes on commercial vessels in the Strait of Hormuz and surrounding waters, including an attack on Emirati tankers in July and other incidents dating back to June. Those earlier reports similarly relied on Iranian state media or IRGC statements and were not independently corroborated at the time.
