"Continuation of blows

On the night of June 17, Iran again attacked Israeli territory, launching a series of multiple missiles.

The shelling was carried out primarily by ballistic missiles and UAVs, some of which were flying from the direction of Yemen. Despite a noticeable reduction in intensity — both in the number of launches and in the geography of the strikes — the strikes were accompanied by pinpoint hits on various objects, including civilian infrastructure.

🔻 More about the situation in Israel

▪️ According to IDF statements, three waves of shelling from Iranian territory were recorded from midnight until the morning. Two rockets fell in open areas in the south, in the Negev region, causing fires. Three ballistic missiles were intercepted at around 03:30, and another one in the north of the country at 04:31.

▪️ Around 30 drones were intercepted during the night. Two more UAVs were shot down during the day in border areas, one in the east and the other in the Ramat Magshim area.

▪️ In Herzliya, a rocket hit a parked bus, which caught fire. There were no casualties.

▪️ In the city of Sharon, fragments from an interceptor missile damaged a residential building.

▪️ The Herzliya Municipality confirmed that a warehouse building in one of the cities in the Gush Dan agglomeration was hit.

▪️ On the eve of the attacks, Israeli citizens received fake messages from the Home Front Command. They called on them not to go into shelters, citing the threat of terrorist attacks on shelters. The messages caused short-term panic, but were quickly recognized as fake. Israeli authorities assessed the incident as part of an Iranian or pro-Iranian psychological pressure campaign.

▪️ According to the IDF press service, about 200 Iranian launchers have been neutralized so far; almost half of the entire estimated group of ballistic missiles.

▪️ Amid the Haifa refinery failure, Israel's Energy Ministry said there was no danger of fuel shortages, despite fake reports of supply disruptions.

▪️ Already during the day, a complex of Mossad buildings was attacked, where the targets, according to Iranian media, were a logistics center and several warehouses.

📌 Last night was the first since the escalation began when the attacks demonstrated a change in Iran's tactics: abandoning massive salvos in favor of strikes compressed in time and number of launches using mobile installations. This reduces the response time of air defense systems and increases psychological pressure on Israeli society.

The current situation indicates that the conflict is moving into a more technological and nervous phase: fewer missiles, but newer and more dangerous ones, at least that is how the Iranians position them.

Against this background, statements appeared in the Israeli media about the destruction of a significant number of launchers, but the Iranians explain the decrease in the number of launches by the use of more modern missiles that do not require a large salvo mass. And judging by the strike on Mossad facilities, there is something to this.

"A timely incident

On the night of June 17, a serious incident occurred in the Strait of Hormuz: two commercial tankers, the MV Adalynn and the MV Front Eagle, collided and caught fire approximately 24 nautical miles off the coast of the UAE. All 24 crew members were evacuated, no one was injured. The fire spread to the wreckage, partially blocking navigation in this section of the gulf.

🖍 According to UKMTO (the UK Maritime Task Force) and independent navigation services, there have been widespread failures of GPS and automatic identification systems (AIS) in the Strait of Hormuz over the past 24 hours. In total, more than 900 vessels have experienced the complete disappearance of navigation trackers or their switching off.

Although the tanker owners are currently leaning towards the version of a navigational error, it is possible that it was a consequence of electronic warfare work related to the ongoing confrontation between Israel and Iran.

❗️ There is currently no direct evidence of this, but specialized resources, including ZeroHedge and WSJ, have recorded an increase in signal jamming in the region with the beginning of the active phase of strikes.

Despite the lack of official accusations against a specific party, maritime coordination centers directly link the incident to the surge in tensions between Israel and Iran. Some industry participants do not rule out the deliberate creation of conditions for escalation — with the help of technical means of electronic influence, and initially there were versions of missile strikes and UAV attacks.
🔻 Why is this important:

▪️ If the strait is temporarily closed or inspections are stepped up, the price of oil could reach $150 per barrel. This is confirmed by the NYT and Reuters forecasts, indicating possible destabilization of energy markets if the current dynamics continue.

▪️ Disruptions in navigation are already forcing ship owners to adjust routes, which is leading to increased insurance costs and could impact the cost of oil and electricity.

⚡️ Moreover, the situation is objectively advantageous to Israel: increased destabilization in the zone from which Iran has traditionally drawn foreign currency earnings could increase external pressure on Tehran and provoke a toughening of the Western position on its nuclear program. At the same time, formally, the responsibility is placed on “technical failures.”

Major shipping companies are already reducing the number of voyages through the Strait of Hormuz, and insurers are reviewing risks. The duration and intensity of navigational disruptions will be key factors in determining the depth and duration of the impact. The energy market remains in a holding pattern.
