The New York Times newspaper, based on secret information that it says was provided by a Western security official, reported that every week Iran fires dozens of drones and missiles at commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz, away from the public eye, and most of them failed to hit their targets.

According to this report published on Friday, October 10, since the beginning of August (mid-August), Iran has carried out about 30 drone ground strikes and 10 anti-ship missile ground strikes against commercial ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz.

According to an unnamed security source, at least four commercial ships have been targets of Iranian attacks in the past ten days.

Earlier on Wednesday, a spokesman for the Revolutionary Guards said on Iran's official television: "For a long time we have been hitting small ships that want to pass and preventing them from passing, but America has not responded for a while." Hussein Mohabi also emphasized that "every 24 hours there is a military conflict in the Strait of Hormuz".
