Israel Can Use Iranian Attacks on Global Shipping to Its Advantage
Signs of the Islamic Republic’s weakness?
Last Thursday, drones attacked a ship in the Gulf of Oman, killing two crew members. The ship is Japanese-owned and sails under a Liberian flag, but it is operated by an Israeli-owned company; one of the victims was Romanian, the other British. According to the governments of the U.S., the UK, and Israel, the Islamic Republic launched the drones from its own soil, apparently in response to IDF airstrikes on Syria last week that killed several Iranian soldiers. The attack marks an escalating maritime war between Jerusalem and Tehran. Yesterday, there seems to have been an attempted hijacking of another ship in the area, for which Iran is likely responsible as well. Yoav Limor assesses the situation:
