The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) attacked another vessel in the Strait of Hormuz a short time ago, according to Israeli journalist Barak Batsh. No details on the vessel's identity, nationality, damage, or casualties have been reported.
The reported attack is the latest in a series of IRGC maritime operations today. At 04:03 Jerusalem, The Zioneer reported that two IRGC fast-attack boats were struck at Bandar Deyr port. At 07:02, the IRGC claimed strikes on a US Navy logistics hub in Oman, a vessel in the Strait of Hormuz, and the Al-Udeid airbase in Qatar. The new report suggests the IRGC has struck another vessel in the strait, though the relationship between these events remains unclear.
The Strait of Hormuz is a critical maritime chokepoint for global oil shipments. The IRGC has repeatedly targeted vessels in the area in recent weeks, as part of an escalating campaign. The source of the attack on the IRGC boats at Bandar Deyr has not been identified.
