According to reports from analyst Hananel Aviv, Iranian state-linked media claimed missile launches toward ships in the Strait of Hormuz about half an hour ago (around 04:00 Jerusalem). The type of munitions, number of launches, and whether any vessels were hit have not been reported. This follows a similar report of missile launches toward ships in the strait earlier tonight.
Iranian state-linked media, as cited by analyst Hananel Aviv, reported missile launches targeting ships in the Strait of Hormuz around 04:00 Jerusalem time Thursday. The report did not specify the type of munitions, the number of launches, or whether any vessels were hit.
This is the second report of missile fire toward the strait since midnight. The earlier report, covered by The Zioneer at 00:18, cited unspecified missile launches at ships without confirmation of impacts. The Strait of Hormuz, a strategic waterway through which about a fifth of the world's oil supply passes, has been a scene of repeated Iranian attacks on shipping over the past month, including ballistic missile strikes, cruise missile barrages, and drone attacks targeting commercial vessels and U.S. warships.
