An Israeli ship was attacked in the Arabian Sea, Iran blamed for the attack

At least one Israeli ship was attacked in the Arabian Sea on February 10, a regional defense source said on Friday. In the statement, it was stated that the attack originated from Iran.

The source reported that unmanned aerial vehicles were probably used and there were no casualties.

There has been no comment from Iran yet.

The situation came after tensions escalated between Iran and the West. Among the reasons for the tension are Tehran's nuclear activities, Russia's arms supply from Iran and months of anti-government protests in Iran.

British maritime security company Ambrey Intelligence said unmanned aerial systems had attacked two tankers and one bulk carrier in the Arabian sea and captured that Tehran had mounted the attack. Two of the merchant vessels were Israeli-owned, it said, and one was Emirati.
