Container ship in strait ‘ignored the warnings’ before attack, claims Iranian news site
Nour News, a website long affiliated with Iran’s Supreme National Security Council, says that the IRGC opened fire on a container ship in the Strait of Hormuz after it had “ignored the warnings of the Iranian armed forces.”
Nour News adds that the ship sustained “extensive damage” in the attack.
Although the US focused much of its fire in the war on Iran’s navy, sinking and heavily damaging dozens of vessels, the Guard operates a fleet of small attack boats, some of which apparently survived the war.
Those vessels typically carry mounted machine guns, and can be used for mining operations.
