“MSC is deeply concerned by these unprovoked attacks and the risk they create for its innocent seafarers and essential maritime trade in the region,” the group said in a statement.
Iran’s Revolutionary Guards said they had targeted the MSC Sariska V container ship with a cruise missile, according to Iranian state media, describing the strike as retaliation for what Tehran said was an earlier attack on an Iranian vessel.
