At least four ships were hit in the past 10 days, according to a Western security official cited by The New York Times. And Iran is no longer entirely hiding it: an IRGC spokesman said military confrontations in the strait are taking place “every 24 hours.” Reuters separately reported that three oil tankers were struck by projectiles on Tuesday alone, though responsibility for those specific strikes has not yet been established.

NYT: IRAN GREIFT FAST TÄGLICH HANDELSSCHIFFE IN DER STRASSE VON HORMUS AN Berichten zufolge hat Iran jede Woche Dutzende Drohnen- und Raketenangriffe auf Handelsschiffe in der Straße von Hormus gestartet, vieles davon außerhalb der öffentlichen Wahrnehmung. Nach Angaben eines westlichen Sicherheitsbeamten, den die New York Times zitierte, wurden in den vergangenen zehn Tagen mindestens vier Schiffe getroffen. Und Iran versucht dies nicht länger vollständig zu verbergen: Ein Sprecher der Revolutionsgarden erklärte, militärische Konfrontationen in der Meerenge fänden „alle 24 Stunden“ statt. Reuters berichtete unabhängig davon, dass allein am Dienstag drei Öltanker von Geschossen getroffen wurden, wobei die Verantwortung für diese konkreten Angriffe bislang noch nicht geklärt ist.

NYT: IRAN IS ATTACKING COMMERCIAL SHIPPING IN THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ NEARLY EVERY DAY Iran has reportedly been launching dozens of drone and missile attacks each week against commercial vessels in the Strait of Hormuz, much of it outside public view. At least four ships were hit in the past 10 days, according to a Western security official cited by The New York Times. And Iran is no longer entirely hiding it: an IRGC spokesman said military confrontations in the strait are taking place “every 24 hours.” Reuters separately reported that three oil tankers were struck by projectiles on Tuesday alone, though responsibility for those specific strikes has not yet been established.
