Iranian media: two fishing boats attacked by ‘enemy’ drone
The strike's location near Qeshm Island, astride the Strait of Hormuz, gives an otherwise small-scale maritime incident outsized weight: it puts civilian fishing traffic in one of the world's most sensitive energy chokepoints. The framing by Iranian state media attributing the attack to an unspecified "enemy" leaves attribution unresolved, which is itself the story. Whether Tehran names a culprit, and whether similar incidents recur in these waters, is the open question worth watching.
