Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guard Corps (IRGC) Navy announced that it targeted a vessel linked to Israel using a drone, causing a fire. The attack took place in the Strait of Hormuz. The IRGC confirmed the incident, stating that its forces aimed at an Israeli-owned commercial ship in Bahrain.
The vessel, named “MCS Ishika,” flying a third country’s flag, was hit by the IRGC Navy’s projectiles at Khalifa Bin Salman Port. The attack was part of a series of strikes against US and Israeli targets in the West Asia region. The Israel Defence Forces (IDF) retaliated by targeting key infrastructure sites in Tehran.
Guided by intelligence, the IDF struck various defence sites, including an aerial defence facility of Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). The strikes also hit military facilities related to weapons research and development, ballistic missile storage, and weapons production sites. The IDF’s actions were described as an effort to disrupt Iran’s core systems and foundations.
The recent events follow the crash of two US military aircraft under Iranian fire. One pilot was rescued, while the other remains missing. Additionally, US-Israeli attacks on petrochemical companies in Iran’s Khuzestan province resulted in injuries. The attacks targeted firms like Fajr 1 and 2, Regal, Amirkabir, Bandar Imam, and Buali Sina, causing concerns about further casualties.
