The attack, which according to the report happened on February 10, took place against Liberia-flagged "Campo Square", whose owner is Zodiac Maritime, a shipping company led by Israeli billionaire Eyal Ofer.

The report noted that the incident involved Shahed-136 suicide drones from the Iranian Revolutionary Guards as well as naval vessels from the elite force in the Persian Gulf, based on briefings by US military sources. These are the same unmanned aerial vehicles that have been used as kamikaze drones by Russia in Ukraine, having been provided by the Iranian regime in recent months.

No casualties were reported and the damage inflicted on the tanker was not substantial.

This is not the first time a merchant vessel associated with Israeli figures comes under attack in the region. One such attack occurred near the coast of Oman in 2021, involving a missile fired by the Guards, resulting in two people on board being killed.

The BBC report noted that the attack could be seen as a "sign of intensification of Iran's threatening actions against shipping in the region."
