Israeli Ship Attacked in Indian Ocean: Suspected Iranian Involvement, US Official Reports

An Israeli-owned container ship, the CMA CGM Symi, was targeted in a suspected Iranian drone attack in the Indian Ocean. The attack 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 to the crew. The U.S. military suspects Iran's paramilitary Revolutionary Guard was behind the attack. This incident highlights the increasing targeting of global shipping in the ongoing conflict, which has the potential to escalate into a wider regional conflict.

Tensions Rise as Red Sea Ship Seizure Sparks Concerns of Shipping Disruption

Japan is seeking talks with Houthi rebels who hijacked the Galaxy Leader, a cargo ship owned by an Israeli businessman and operated by a Japanese firm in the Red Sea. The rebels attacked the vessel in response to what they perceive as Israel's "heinous acts" in Gaza. Japan has condemned the seizure and is communicating with Israel, as well as urging other concerned countries like Iran, Saudi Arabia, and Oman to help secure the release of the ship and its crew. Israel has blamed Iran for the attack, but the Houthi rebels deny their involvement. The Houthis have previously threatened to target Israeli ships in the Red Sea.
