Iran-Israel ship tanker conflict thread: Of interest in the apparent attack by Iran (or Iran proxy) on ship off Oman that killed two and which Israel's foreign minister has hinted Iran was behind; is that IRAN media seems to ignore the attack purposely, why?

Iran's media in the past has mentioned attacks at sea, such as the June 2019 attack on the Kokuka Courageous and also the Norwegian-owned Front Altair. Iran media often reports quickly on Houthi attacks or new drone abilities. So why purposely ignore this.

Iran could just quote foreign media; often Iran media will even launder Israeli reports; but this time it is remaining quiet.

So since we know about the Iranian "laundry" of foreign media reports; what's going on with the Oman incident, is it because the regime is worried they killed two people, a big violation of maritime law? jpost.com/middle-east/th…

Here is Lapid's tweet; "Iran is not just an Israeli problem, but an exporter of terrorism, destruction and instability that are hurting us all. We must never remain silent in the face of Iranian terrorism, which also harms freedom of navigation."

So what is going on? Why is pro-Iran media so quiet. Except the Al-Alam TV report, Al-Mayadeen and others are also ignoring this. That seems systematic and purposeful. That is a message. But WHAT is the message. Is it concern or quiet before the storm.
