Israeli-owned ship targeted on February 10 in the Arabian Sea: Regional security source

According to a regional defence source, at least one Israeli-owned vessel was assaulted in the Arabian Sea on February 10 in an action that Iran is thought to have carried out.

The source claimed there were no reports of injuries and that drones were probably utilised.

Iran, which has denied claims that it was responsible for similar instances in recent years, made no immediate reaction.

The attack took place amid heightened tensions between Iran and the West over Tehran's nuclear activities, its shipments of weapons, including long-range "suicide drones," to Russia for use in its conflict in Ukraine, and months of domestic anti-government protests.

Unmanned aircraft systems assaulted two tankers and one bulk ship in the Arabian Sea, according to the British maritime security firm Ambrey Intelligence, which believed Tehran was responsible for the attack. According to the report, one Emirati and two Israelis owned the merchant ships.

Iran has accused Israel of being behind a drone attack on a military facility in the city of Isfahan on January 29. The country has vowed retaliation for what appears to be the most recent development in a protracted clandestine conflict.

Isfahan Province is home to a number of nuclear facilities, including Natanz, the hub of Iran's uranium enrichment programme, which Israel is said to have sabotaged in 2021. Around Iranian military, nuclear, and industrial sites, there have been numerous explosions and fires in recent years.

Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant claimed on Friday that despite an embargo, Iran was spreading the spread of modern weapons outside the region, including negotiations to sell drones and precision-guided munitions to 50 different nations.

Israeli settlers have once again attacked religious minorities in the region, this time targeting a church in East Jerusalem.

According to reports, the settlers assaulted clerics and worshippers at the Church of the Sepulchre of Saint Charbel, causing damage to the property and injuring several people.
