Iranian state media has reported that six so-called Iranian small boats targeted by the US military in the Strait of Hormuz were not IRGC-affiliated, but civilian vessels carrying goods and passengers, and five people were killed in the attack, Al Jazeera reports.
A military official told the Tasnim news agency that, after US reports of the attacks, an investigation was carried out by Iranian authorities, who found that US forces had “attacked and fired upon two small cargo boats carrying civilians that were moving from Khasab on the coast of Oman towards the Iranian coast”.
