This article can be challenged with Times of Israel's editorial-standards team.

Amend the headline to name, or explicitly acknowledge the unknown identity of, the party responsible for the drone incident, for example: "Three fishermen injured after drone of unknown origin strikes boat off southern Iran, authorities say."
Append an editorial note to the article body acknowledging that the sentence "a fishing boat was struck in an incident involving an unidentified drone near Sirik" does not convey who operated the drone, and clarifying that this gap reflects the limits of verified information.

Three fishermen were injured after a fishing boat was struck in an incident involving an unidentified drone near Sirik in southern Iran’s Hormozgan province, the provincial governor’s office says, according to Tasnim news agency.

Tasnim cites local sources as saying a fishing boat was hit in what they described as an attack by a US drone, although Iranian authorities have not officially confirmed the circumstances of the incident or who was responsible.
