DUBAI, 14 April, 2021 (TON): On Tuesday, an Israeli firm owned commercial vessel was attacked off the coast of the UAE in the Gulf waters.
Israel’s top rated media channel cited the unnamed Israeli officials as blaming arch-foe Iran for the assault, which it described as a missile strike.
The media said that there were no casualties and the ship continued on its course.
The incident comes a day after Tehran accused Israel of sabotaging a nuclear site, and after Iran and the United States began indirect talks in Vienna on ways to revive world powers’ 2015 nuclear deal with Tehran.
Officials in Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office and Israel’s Defense Ministry declined comment on the incident.
However, a spokesman for Israel’s Transportation Ministry said he was aware of the reports but could not confirm them.
Meanwhile, there was no immediate confirmation from the UAE.
