On June 1 evening, Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) announced a retaliatory cruise missile strike against the "Sariska," a vessel it claims is tied to U.S. and Israeli interests. The attack came in response to what the IRGC described as a U.S. military assault on Iranian ships in the Gulf of Oman. The statement warned that any future U.S. aggression would be met with a firm response, though it did not specify the timing of the strike or the type of missile used.
Separately, the UK Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) reported that a cargo ship was struck by an unidentified projectile and suffered a violent explosion while transiting the Persian Gulf near southern Iraq. The two incidents occurred close in time, though it remains unconfirmed whether they are connected. The U.S. military has not yet issued a comment on the matter.
