[Regnum] Iranian forces fired a cruise missile at an Israeli container ship. This information, previously reported in the media, was confirmed by Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC).
| Neither the Times of Israel nor the Jerusalem Post report anything more than that the IRGC made that claim. Were it really an Israeli ship, they would have reported the owner, the ship’s itinerary, and all the usual information publicly available about such ships. This suggest, like so often is the case, that the IRGC is either lying or just chooses to assume Israeli ownership because that is the ship their missile was pointed at. Whether they actually hit it is another question, but since I saw no reports of them hitting anything, they probably left actual impact to Allah. |
"This morning [April 6], the IRGC naval forces carried out a precise strike with a cruise missile on the Zionist regime's SDN7 container ship," the military said in a statement, according to the Anadolu agency.
It also stated that a large fire broke out on the ship. No further details were provided.
The IRGC stated that the strike was carried out as part of the 98th phase of Operation True Promise 4 against US and Israeli targets in the Middle East. According to the Israeli military, this wave of attacks included targets in northern and southern Tel Aviv, strategic centers in Haifa, companies and chemical plants in Beersheba, and an Israeli military base in Petah Tikva.
Earlier, the Iranian newspaper Donya-e-Eqtesad reported that Iranian forces had destroyed the Israeli container ship SDN7. According to the newspaper, the vessel caught fire after the strike.
On April 5, the IRGC announced that at least 25 people were killed or wounded in an Iranian naval attack on a US military officer and instructor stationed in the UAE. On April 2, Iranian forces launched missile strikes against US military bases near the Bahraini capital of Manama, killing dozens. On March 25, the IRGC reported that the Iranian navy launched several cruise missiles at the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln. Tehran stated that it would continue combat operations until the US and Israel surrendered.

Commentary by Russian military journalist Boris Rozhin:
[ColonelCassad] 1. Hezbollah hit a British warship with a cruise missile 65 miles off the coast of Lebanon. Initially, they claimed to have hit an Israeli ship, but Israel claimed they missed it and instead hit British vessels. A Hezbollah reconnaissance drone guided the strike. The extent of the damage to the ship is unknown, as is the type of ship hit. However, both Hezbollah and Israel have confirmed the hit.
2. Today, in the Strait of Hormuz, IRGC missile crews sank an Israel-linked container ship, the SDN7. Two suicide gas carriers also attempted to transit the strait, but they came to their senses in time and fled back to the Persian Gulf. Meanwhile, Iran is allowing ships from friendly countries to pass through without issue, stating that the strait will remain closed to the US and Israel even after the war ends. Russia has received the right to free and safe passage for its ships through the strait. Neutrals will pay for passage in yuan and cryptocurrency. The legislative framework is already being prepared.
3. Iranian missile forces also attacked the Tripoli LCS in the Arabian Sea, which was transporting 2,500 Marines for Trump's amphibious operation. It is unknown whether the Iranians scored any hits. The IRGC reported that after the attack, the Tripoli fled south, away from the Iranian coast, following the example of the Abraham Lincoln. It is unlikely that a potential landing will take place directly from the Tripoli. Most likely, the strike will be launched from the territory of a Persian Gulf country – most likely either the UAE or Saudi Arabia.
And now, back to our business.
1. Yesterday, the Volgo-Balt 138 bulk carrier was sunk in the Sea of Azov. A drone strike caused a fire, killing three people. The rest were rescued and reached shore. There's a potential fuel spill in the Sea of Azov from a sunken vessel. There are no plans to raise it yet. The mess surrounding a broken tanker in the Kerch Strait, which polluted the coast of eastern Crimea and the Anapa area with fuel oil, was recently cleared up, so another problem could arise.
2. The enemy also reported attacking an Admiral Grigorovich-class frigate (Admiral Essen or Admiral Makarov) during the attack on Novorossiysk. The video from Novorossiysk cuts out, making it unclear whether the drone hit the frigate or not, and if so, what damage it sustained. Nevertheless, this is yet another reminder of the need to strengthen air defense systems, and not just in Novorossiysk. The Sivash platform was also attacked yesterday, where a drone hit and a fire broke out.
3. It turned out that the ports in Ust-Luga and Primorsk have already resumed operations (the damage was not as extensive as it appeared in the video), while Russia, despite the strikes on its refineries and ports in March, significantly increased its oil sales abroad, including through the Baltic. It can be assumed that the enemy will attempt to attack terminals and refineries again in order to somehow reduce Russia's potential revenues. We will likely also see further attempts to seize "shadow fleet" tankers.
Bloomberg previously stated that, under current trends, Russia will earn an additional $40 billion in 2026 due to Epstein's coalition war against Iran. Therefore, the attack on refineries and terminals is an attempt to reduce our revenues. Moreover, these strikes also contribute to rising oil prices.
