The ship Hyperion Ray, belonging to the Israeli Ray Shipping Company and floating under the flag of the Bahamas, was attacked near the coast of the United Arab Emirates (UAE). This on Tuesday, April 13, reports Al-Meridine TV channel with reference to its own sources.
As specified, the incident occurred not far from El Fujairah Emirate, which is part of the UAE. It is known that the cargo ship came out of the Kuwaiti port of Ahmadi. As a result of the attack, it received minor damage, while the team members were also not affected. Despite this, Hyperion Ray will be forced to go to the nearest port to assess the seriousness of the damage received and the ability to continue swimming.
According to Al-Meridine, the Israeli side has already stated that the ship was attacked by the Iranian rocket. Presumably, she could be launched from the Iranian drone or other vessel. It is specified that such an attack could be the answer to Tehran for a recent terrorist attack on a nuclear facility in the Iranian Natanz, to which Israeli special services are involved.
April 11, an accident occurred at a nuclear facility for uranium enrichment in Iranian Natanz. In the organization on atomic energy, the country stated that the incident was associated with the distribution of electricity. The Israeli radio Kan reported with reference to anonymous sources in intelligence, the cause of the accident was the kiberatak on a nuclear facility by the Israeli special services “Mossad”. Later, the involvement of Israel to the attack on Iran’s nuclear object was anonymously confirmed in the United States.
before that, on April 7, it was reported that the Israeli armed forces hit the Iran’s ship in the Red Sea, presumably related to the intelligence activities of the “Corps of the Guardians of the Islamic Revolution”. At the end of March, Iran inflicted a rocket strike on the ship owned by the Israeli company XT Management, in the Arabian Sea.
