Hitting a ship at sea that’s out of sight is astonishing. I doubt it was fired from Iran.

A ship that has no self defense capabilities, is following a defined rout and is reporting its position via AIS (and possibly other systems) that can be accessed by anyone, including you and I, makes it a lot less than astonishing. It's certainly well within Iran's capabilities.

An easy way to do it is to tail the ship you want to hit and guide the drone's final approach. Don't know but they might illuminate the target with a laser. That's borderline high school electonics these days.
