Unknown projectile hits ship in Hormuz
A commercial vessel was targeted with an unidentified projectile while transiting the Strait of Hormuz, according to the UK Maritime Trade Operations authority, with no information available yet about the crew's condition or the extent of the damage. This comes amid rising tensions in the region, as Iran continues its threats and disruptions to navigation through the strait, which is a vital artery for global oil exports. Attacks and security incidents near Qeshm Island have also been repeated. Iran has also revealed conditions for the United States to reopen the strait, while Washington has scaled back its military protection of ships in the area amid escalating clashes between Iran and the U.S. over control of the strait and regional developments.
