ynet reported Saturday, citing Iranian sources, that satellite imagery indicates a vessel carrying natural gas from Qatar was damaged in the Strait of Hormuz. The report is single-sourced and unverified; no details on casualties or the extent of damage are available.
The report, first carried by ynet, cites Iranian sources claiming that satellite photography shows a Qatari-flagged natural gas carrier sustaining damage while transiting the Strait of Hormuz. No group has claimed responsibility, and neither the extent of the damage nor any crew casualties has been independently confirmed.
Since June, The Zioneer has documented a series of unverified claims of maritime attacks in the strategic waterway, including alleged drone strikes on cargo vessels, mine strikes on tankers, and confrontations with US Navy warships. The new report, also unverified, is the latest to emerge from Iranian sources, though no independent corroboration has surfaced.
