In a statement on Monday evening, the IRGC Navy’s public relations office said a vessel owned by the “US-Zionist enemy” was struck by a cruise missile.

According to the statement, the operation was carried out in response to an aggressive attack by the “terrorist and child-killing US military” against the Iranian vessel LIANSTAR in the Sea of Oman.

The IRGC Navy said that, in a retaliatory operation, it targeted the vessel MSC SARISKA, which it identified as being owned by the US-Israeli enemy, with a cruise missile.

The statement further warned that any act of aggression by the US military in the region would be met with a decisive response.
