On the evening of July 29, local time, two boats caught fire in Damietta Port in northern Egypt due to drone attacks. Although the fire was later brought under control and there were no casualties, the attack came at a sensitive time when negotiations between the US and Iran were at a standstill and military friction between the two sides continued. The incident also immediately attracted great attention from the outside world. Egyptian Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Industry and Transport Wazir said at a cabinet press conference that after the incident occurred, the Egyptian side immediately dragged the boat that started the fire 3.5 km away from the port to put out the fire. Currently, port operations have fully returned to normal. But he also mentioned that if the drone hits the ship's main liquefied natural gas storage tank, the consequences will be very serious. Political analyst Mukhtar said that the most likely thing for Egypt is to have direct communication and dialogue with relevant parties to try to avoid affecting the shipping of the Suez Canal. As for direct military intervention, I don't think this is part of Egypt's plan; at least it is far from being considered.
