Reports in Iran, cited by Israeli security and Middle East analyst Yair Goldblatt, indicate that missiles were launched from the coastal area of Sirik toward ships in the Strait of Hormuz, and that a ship was struck by Iranian fire shortly before 21:12 Jerusalem time.
The Strait of Hormuz has been a theater of heightened military friction in recent months. As The Zioneer has reported, the IRGC Navy has engaged commercial vessels and declared a blockade on the waterway, while US and Iranian forces have traded strikes along Iran's southern coast.
The identity and nationality of the struck vessel, the extent of damage, and any casualties have not been reported. The reports remain unverified by independent sources.
