IRGC Hits “Israel-Linked” Ship With Drone as Hormuz Tensions Spike
Iran says it struck an Israel-linked commercial ship in the Strait of Hormuz, but key details remain disputed and unverified.
According to Reuters and statements from Iran’s Revolutionary Guard, a drone hit the vessel—identified as the MSC Ishika—triggering a fire onboard. The claim has not been independently confirmed, and Israel has not responded publicly.
The reported strike comes as tensions in the region remain high following weeks of conflict between Iran, the U.S., and Israel. The Strait of Hormuz, a critical global shipping route, has already seen severe disruptions, with Iran restricting passage and targeting vessels it deems hostile.
