·Strait of Hormuz, Persian Gulf
Iran's IRGC claimed it targeted the MSC Ishyka, a vessel linked to Israel, with a drone strike in the Strait of Hormuz. The Guards posted on X that the ship 'caught fire.' The attack demonstrates Iran's selective enforcement: blocking Israeli-linked shipping while allowing some neutral-flag vessels to transit.
Iran's IRGC naval forces posted on X claiming that a drone struck the MSC Ishyka, a vessel described as linked to the Zionist regime, in the Strait of Hormuz, setting the ship on fire. By targeting an Israel-linked ship specifically, the IRGC is demonstrating selective enforcement: blocking Israeli economic interests while managing broader shipping diplomacy with other nations. The attack adds to the naval dimension of the conflict in the strategically critical waterway.
