Informed sources revealed to Al Mayadeen today that the Iranian Islamic Revolution's Guard Corp was behind the targeting of the two Israeli ships in the Indian Ocean earlier this month on January 4th. 

The sources emphasized that "the IRGC attack against two Israeli ships came as a retaliation to the assassination of the head of the political bureau of Hamas, Saleh al-Arouri [in Beirut], and the Iranian commander in Syria, Brigadier General Razi Mousavi."

The sources explained that "one of the ships was targeted northwest of the Maldives, while the second was targeted 200 miles off the coast of Viraaval, India."

The sources confirmed that "the Iranian strike against Israel [which blindsided the Israelis] came in response to the assassination of leaders in the axis of resistance."
