Iranian cargo ship attacked in Red Sea off Yemen: Report

India TV News  

An Iranian cargo ship believed to be a base for the paramilitary Revolutionary Guard and anchored for years in the Red Sea off Yemen has been attacked, Iranian state television acknowledged Wednesday. In a statement, the US military's Central Command only said it was "aware of media reporting of an incident involving the Saviz in the Red Sea." Iran previously described the vessel as aiding in "anti-piracy" efforts in the Red Sea and the Bab el-Mandeb strait, a crucial choke point in international shipping. That briefing material also included pictures showing a variety of antennas on the vessel that the Saudi government described as unusual for a commercial cargo ship, suggesting it conducted electronic surveillance.
