Iran has accused the United States and Israel of targeting civilian vessels in the Gulf. Officials said airstrikes hit private ships and passenger vessels. The Khatam al-Anbiya headquarters called the actions “despicable attacks.” It warned of a “harsh response” if such strikes continue. No details of the incidents were shared. The claims come as the conflict enters its fourth week. Tensions remain high after repeated military exchanges. Iran also reported a strike on its Natanz nuclear site but said there was no radiation risk. Fighting has continued across the Gulf, raising concerns over safety of shipping and energy routes.
