Israel’s Prime Minister has now said that arch-foe Iran is responsible for a recent attack on an Israeli cargo ship in the Gulf of Oman near Iran and vowed that Israel would strike back against their “greatest enemy.”

“It is indeed an Iranian act, that’s clear,” Netanyahu told public broadcaster Kan, referring to the MV Helios Ray, which was last week hit by a blast in the Gulf of Oman leaving two holes in its side.

“As for a reaction — you know my policy,” he continued. “Iran is Israel’s greatest enemy, I’m determined to block it, we’re striking at it throughout the region,” he said.

US officials said the blast, which occurred off the coast of Omani capital Muscat, had left holes on both sides of the hull of the MV Helios Ray, a car carrier.

The blue-and-white vessel has arrived at Dubai’s Port Rashid, where assessments are being made. An Israeli delegation was also enroute to Dubai to investigate further.

Israeli Defense Minister Benny Gantz told public broadcaster Kan that an “initial assessment” was completed and indicated that Iran was responsible for the attack.

Israeli Channel 13 News said defense officials believed the Iranian navy had launched a precision strike to avoid casualties, firing two missiles at a part of the ship that if damaged would not have sunk the vessel.

This incident highlights the security challenges with Iran in the Gulf of Oman and the Middle East in its entirety. Similar attacks rocked several oil tankers in 2019, which the United States government blamed on Iran.
