‘CLASH CONFIRMED’: US Marines Abort Qeshm Island Operation At Last Minute After IRGC Encounter?
Iranian fishing boats have reportedly come under attack near Qeshm Island in the Strait of Hormuz, but sharply conflicting accounts have emerged over what happened and the casualties. Iran’s Fars News says two fishing boats were struck in what it described as an “enemy drone attack,” leaving two fishermen missing and two wounded. The supplied Iranian material does not identify the aircraft responsible. A separate, unverified account goes considerably further, claiming the fishermen approached and filmed two US AH-64E Apache attack helicopters before an American MQ-1C armed drone intervened and fired two AGM-114 Hellfire missiles at the boats. That account claims four fishermen were killed. These details and casualty figures have not been established in the supplied material. What the accounts share is a potentially dangerous development: Iranian fishing vessels were reportedly attacked near Qeshm, adding another flashpoint to the increasingly tense waters of Hormuz.
