Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett said Tuesday that his government was “working on enlisting the world” in response to the attack but warned “we also know how to act alone.” Both the United States and Israel have said their intelligence assessments of Thursday’s incident concluded that an Iranian drone attacked the ship, managed by prominent Israeli billionaire Eyal Ofer, as it sailed off Oman.A British security guard and a Romanian crew member were killed in what analysts said bore all the hallmarks of the “shadow war” between Iran and Israel, which has included attacks on shipping in waters around the Gulf.
Britain summoned the Iranian ambassador and demanded that vessels navigate freely in the oil-rich region.
