Iran announces ‘retaliatory operation’ in the Sea of Oman

Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has said that its naval forces targeted the vessel MSC Sariska with a cruise missile in what it described as a “retaliatory operation” following an alleged US attack on an Iranian ship in the Sea of Oman.

According to a statement carried by Iran’s state broadcaster IRIB on Monday, the attack came after what the IRGC described as an “aggressive attack” by the US military on the Iranian vessel Lian Star in the Sea of Oman.

The statement claimed that the MSC Sariska was owned by what it described as the “US-Zionist enemy.”

Iraqi officials said the vessel was struck by two explosions, one of which was reportedly caused by a drone attack.

Earlier today, Iran has suspended indirect exchanges and text-sharing with the US through mediators in protest over continued Israeli attacks in Lebanon, the semi-official Tasnim news agency has reported.
