Cargo Ship Attacked Near Iraq
Description
Two explosions rocked the MSC Sariska V near Umm Qasr, Iraq, damaging the vessel but leaving crew unharmed—initially blamed on a drone, later claimed by Iran’s Revolutionary Guard as a cruise missile strike, calling the ship a U.S.-Zionist asset in retaliation for a U.S. attack on the Lian Star. That strike, part of a broader blockade affecting over 100 ships, followed the Lian Star’s disregard of warnings as it approached an Iranian port. Mediterranean Shipping Company condemned the unprovoked attacks, warning of escalating risks to global trade and seafarers, while Iran vowed a “decisive response” to any further U.S. action—despite a nominal ceasefire, tensions simmer as maritime routes remain perilous.
