At least one Israeli-owned vessel was attacked in the Arabian sea on Feb. 10, a regional defense source said on Friday, in an assault that Iran is accused of.

The source said drones were likely used and that there were no reports of casualties.

There was no immediate comment by Iran.

The attack came during tension between Iran and the West over Tehran’s nuclear activity and its supply of arms for Russia’s war in Ukraine, as well as months of anti-regime demonstrations at home.

British maritime security company Ambrey Intelligence said unmanned aerial systems had attacked two tankers and one bulk carrier in the Arabian sea and assessed that Tehran had mounted the attack. Two of the merchant vessels were Israeli-owned, it said, and one was Emirati.
