IRGC boat fires on vessel near Oman, report says






A container ship was fired upon near the coast of Oman, causing heavy damage to its bridge, according to UK Maritime Trade Operations.



The agency said the vessel was approached by a boat linked to Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps about 15 nautical miles northeast of Oman.  



Tasnim News Agency said Iran’s military had enforced “maritime law” on a vessel that ignored repeated warnings.
