Iranian forces raid ships in what appears to be revenge for Greece’s role in seizing an Iranian tanker on Friday.
Iran has seized two Greek tankers in helicopter attacks, amid dramatic escalation of tensions and violent incidents in the Persian Gulf region.
Iranian Revolutionary Guard forces land by helicopter on oil tankers, a day after Greece assisted US in seizure of a tanker with Iranian oil in the Mediterranean.
As talks on reviving the international nuclear deal with Iran are stalled, there are increasing signs that Tehran and its rivals are ready to use force to defend their interests.
Two days ago, the Iranian Ministry of Defense announced an “accident” at the Parchin high-security military complex where one engineer was killed and another was plagosur.
Yesterday the daily New York Times reported a drone strike that bore the brunt of an Israeli operation against Iran’s military and infrastructure plants.
The news said that the attack targeted an imjant in Iran where military drone technology is being developed.
Israel appears to have accepted responsibility for the assassination of Revolutionary Guard Colonel Saiad Khodai, who was killed by motorcyclists outside his home in Tehran.
An intelligence official said the killing was a warning sign to Tehran to stop targeting Israeli citizens abroad.
Revolutionary Guard Commander Hossein Salami said there would be a response to the killing. “Our enemies must wait, our reaction will be harsh, causing the enemy to regret his actions,” said Salami. according to the local network Press TV.
If the Israeli attack on Parchin is confirmed it will mark a strong escalation in the drone war between Iran and Israel.
In February Israel reportedly sent six ‘quadcopter’ (four-propeller) drones to strike a drone production plant in the city of Kermanshah.
In response, Iran fired rockets at a building in Iraq believed to be used by Israeli intelligence to carry out the attack in Kermanshah.
The Greek Foreign Ministry today called the seizure of the two tankers a piracy act, and called for their return and the release of the crew.
