This is not an automated ship.  Note that nothing in the article is said of the crew.  I imagine they contributed in their interviews to the physical evidence, all pointing directly to Iran.  “US says it nabbed vessel carrying arms from Iran to Yemeni rebels,” Times of Israel, 2-15-24.

Almost too bazare to post.  “Iran claims ‘property rights’ to Antarctica, plans to build naval base,” Mint, 2-15-24.

“U.S. conducted cyberattack on suspected Iranian spy ship,” NBC, 2-15-24.  “One of the U.S. officials with knowledge of the cyberattack said the operation was conducted on an Iranian ship named the MV Behshad. The other officials declined to disclose the name of the ship. … In an interview with NBC News’ Lester Holt last week, Iran’s U.N. ambassador, Amir Saeid Iravani, said the Behshad is in the Red Sea “to combat the piracy activities” and is not providing intelligence to Houthi forces. [BTW, this is one of those opportunities to throw light on the distortions spoken by the Regime—the media should ask what piracy interceptions the Behshad has participated in, as the number is ZERO.] Since January, the Behshad has been operating near the port of Djibouti, close to a Chinese military base on shore, according to ship tracking data. Military analysts say it’s possible Iran has chosen to move the ship near the Chinese base to discourage U.S. naval forces from trying to physically attack or board the suspected spy vessel.”

“Report: U.S. Carried Out Covert Cyberattack on Iranian Spy Ship,” Maritime Executive, 2-15-24.  What is very interesting is what is not said—Did the U.S. cyberattack occur after the Behshad had put into “safe” waters, anchored about three miles from the Chinese naval base in Djibouti?  I think so.

“US carries out cyberattack on Iranian warship in Red Sea – NBC News report,” Reuters, 2-15-24.  “The US operation was meant to inhibit the Iranian ship’s ability to share intelligence with Houthi militants in Yemen.”  As a result, it appears there have been fewer attacks.  Amazing what action can do.
