Israeli-owned Ship Attacked by Iranian Drone in Indian Ocean

A container ship owned by an Israeli billionaire was targeted in a suspected Iranian drone attack in the Indian Ocean, according to an American defense official. The attack on the CMA CGM Symi occurred as Israel continues its conflict with Hamas in Gaza. The drone, believed to be a Shahed-136, exploded near the ship, causing damage but no injuries. The incident highlights the increasing targeting of global shipping during the ongoing conflict. While the US official did not provide specific intelligence, authorities suspect Iran's Revolutionary Guard was behind the attack. Iran and Israel have been engaged in a shadow war in the Middle East for years, with drone attacks on Israeli-associated vessels.
