Major General Hossein Salami, Commander-in-Chief of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), claimed that Iran has targeted 12 Israeli ships in the northern Indian Ocean and other locations. This action was in response to Israel allegedly targeting 14 Iranian oil tankers in the Red Sea, Mediterranean Sea, and the Gulf of Aden. The IRGC's retaliation has led to heightened tensions, with Tel Aviv reportedly demanding an end to the maritime conflict in international waters.
