The recent uptick in maritime attacks between Israel and Iran risks triggering a broader escalation that leads to more attacks on Israeli commercial interests. Israel’s Channel 12 News reported on March 25 that an Iranian missile hit an Israeli-owned container ship in the Arabian Sea while it was traveling from Tanzania to India. The television station did not provide further details, but subsequent reporting suggested that the Israeli-owned Lori cargo ship was targeted. Shipping transponder data from the Lori, which has since arrived in a port in India, also showed a sharp, sudden deceleration in the Arabian Sea before resuming normal speed. If confirmed to be an Iranian-linked attack, this incident would mark the second suspected Iranian attack against an Israeli ship in recent weeks, following the attack on the Helios Ray vehicle carrier in the Gulf of Oman in late February.
