The world is closely monitoring the unfolding events in various hotspots, all of which are linked to the ongoing war in Gaza.
Analysts are scrutinizing these developments in the context of a “response exchange” policy between Israel and supporters of the Hamas movement.
In this regard, the Israeli newspaper “Maariv” reported a fire at a base belonging to the Iranian Revolutionary Guard in southern Iran on Sunday evening. The incident damaged 16 ships and was described by the newspaper as a “mysterious explosion.”
Videos circulating online show several burning ships and thick smoke billowing from the site of the incident. According to the newspaper, many ships managed to leave the area unharmed.
The report, which remains unverified, suggests that these ships were intended to assist the Houthis in Yemen. For weeks, the Houthis have been attacking ships in the Red Sea, claiming these assaults as retaliation for Israel’s war on the Gaza Strip.
The incident at the Iranian base has added a new dimension to the already complex regional dynamics, intertwining the Yemeni conflict with the escalating tensions in Gaza.
International observers are keeping a vigilant eye on these developments, which could potentially escalate into a broader regional conflict.
