Officials at the office of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the Israeli Ministry of Defense declined to comment on the matter.

Ship attacked after attack on Iran’s nuclear site
This incident of an attack on an Israeli ship has occurred when Iran was beheaded by Iran a day before, accusing Israel of sabotaging its nuclear site. At the same time, this attack has taken place at a time when Iran and America are in indirect negotiations to revive the 2015 nuclear deal in Vienna. Lebanon-based Al Maidin television channel has identified the ship as Hyperion, citing sources.
The car was loaded on the ship
Refinitive ship tracking data revealed that the Bahamas-flagged Hyperion Ray (HYPERION RAY) ship sailed from Kuwait to Fujairah port. At the same time, the Younz Agency based in Lebanon said the car was loaded on the ship and it was present at the Meena Al Ahmadi port in Kuwait 48 hours ago. The United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) said in an advisory notice that it had come to know of a possible incident near Fujairah and the matter was under investigation.
Iran-Israel are constantly targeting each other’s ships
Last month, Iran’s container ship was attacked in the Mediterranean Sea. Two weeks earlier, Israeli-owned MV Helios Ray was targeted in the Gulf of Oman. In such a situation, it was believed that Israel targeted the Iranian ship in the Mediterranean to avenge the attack on its ship. These attacks occurred at a time when US President Joe Biden has taken the initiative to re-join the US in the 2015 nuclear deal.
