Attacks on ships near the Strait of Hormuz escalate tensions

Two attacks on merchant vessels have occurred near the Strait of Hormuz. The United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) reported this.

In the first incident, it was recorded that a tanker was struck by unidentified projectiles. The event took place approximately 78 nautical miles north of the UAE.

In the second incident, several small boats attacked a cargo ship near the Iranian city of Sirik. It is reported that this location is 11 nautical miles away from the site where the incident occurred.

It was noted that in both cases, no crew members were harmed.

Earlier, Donald Trump had announced the launch of an operation to escort merchant vessels through the strait.

Iran, in turn, stated that it considers such actions to be a violation of the truce.
