Iranian ship inside Yemen's territorial waters. Well, it was probably suspected of gun-running to aid the Houthis and was probably attacked by the pro-KSA faction of Yemen.

Iranian ship with a Pakistani crew? I dont know that Iranians usually employs Pakistanis in their ships, I think the crew should be the same nationaçity of the ship.

In this case, do KSA attacked an enemie (the Iranian ship) or a friend (the Pakistani crew)??
