Working Conditions Aboard the Haiphong-Express

On March 31, 2016, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) of Iran announced that it launched a missile attack on the container ship 'Haiphong Express', which was docked at Rashid Anchorage, located at coordinates 25° 30' N 054° 56' E in the Persian Gulf. This operation was reported as part of the IRGC's continued efforts to target U.S. and Israeli interests in the region. According to statements from the IRGC, their naval forces effectively hit the vessel earlier that day, marking the incident as part of what they call the 88th wave of drone and missile strikes aimed at U.S. military bases and assets across West Asia, along with Israeli objectives. However, the attack remains unverified by independent sources, and there has been no confirmation regarding the extent of damage to the ship or the status of its crew.
