The Chinese news outlet Caixin reported on Thursday that a Chinese-owned ship, openly marked as such, was attacked in the Strait of Hormuz on Monday, days before the Iranian foreign minister visited Beijing to discuss his country’s ongoing conflict with the United States.
The Caixin report, citing sources familiar with the situation, did not identify any perpetrators of the attack, though it did note that Iran’s terrorist Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) was intentionally targeting random civilian ships in the Strait of Hormuz to disrupt global commerce and had targeted a French company’s ship on Wednesday.
The allegedly targeted Chinese ship in question was believed to be departing the United Arab Emirates (UAE), which has been the subject of sustained Iranian bombing since the United States launched “Operation Epic Fury” to disable Iran’s ability to continue engaging in and funding terrorism around the world. Reuters, citing Caixin, reported on Thursday that the ship in question bore a mark reading “CHINA OWNER & CREW” while it passed through the Strait in an apparent attempt to avoid being targeted.
