Cargo ship sinks in Strait of Hormuz with iPhones and perfumes floating
A shipping vessel flying the Singapore flag, known as "GFS Pride," sank after sustaining damage that caused a fire, resulting in its sinking. The crew of 21 people was safely evacuated with no injuries. The ship was carrying approximately 2,500 containers containing luxury perfumes and iPhones. After sinking, debris and goods floated on the surface of the sea, contaminating the waters. Iran announced that the vessel had collided with a sea mine while passing through the strait, whereas other naval sources suggest that the ship was hit by an unidentified projectile before the fire broke out, sparking a dispute over the cause of the incident. This event occurs amid escalating tensions between Iran and the United States and an increase in attacks on ships in the Strait of Hormuz, one of the world's most vital waterways for transporting oil and gas.
