Brigadier General (Res.) Yossi Kuperwasser, head of the research division at the Israel Defense Forces and former director general of the Ministry of Strategic Affairs, commented on the attack on an Israeli-owned ship in the Gulf of Oman.

Speaking to Israel Hayom, Kuperwasser said: "The likelihood that this is not an Iranian operation is low. The Iranians have the naval power of the Revolutionary Guards, which have commando units that allow them to carry out an operation. If it is an Iranian operation, they may very well be the ones."
