The Israeli regime is the prime suspect in a terrorist attack on a cargo ship belonging to the Islamic Republic of Iran Shipping Line (IRIS) Group in the Mediterranean Sea earlier this week, an informed source says.

“Given the geographical location of the ship and the way it was targeted, one of the strong possibilities is that this terrorist act was carried out by the Zionist regime (Israel),” the source told Nour News on Saturday.

Ali Ghiasi, the IRISL Group’s spokesman, told Nour News on Friday that one of its cargo ships had been damaged after it was targeted by a terrorist attack en route to Europe in the Mediterranean Sea earlier this week.
