Israel is highly likely to have been behind an attack in the Mediterranean this week that damaged an Iranian container ship, an Iranian investigator was quoted as saying on Saturday by Iran s media.
Israeli officials did not comment on Friday when asked if Israel was involved in the incident on Wednesday.
The container ship Shahr e Kord was hit by an explosive object which caused a small fire, but no one on board was hurt, Iran reported on Friday. Two maritime security sources said initial indications were that the ship had been intentionally targeted by an unknown source.
The investigator said explosive projectiles could have been fired from an aerial vehicle, hitting a number of containers on the ship s deck.
