A British maritime monitoring agency reported that a cargo ship was struck by an unknown projectile in the Strait of Hormuz, off the coast of Oman. The incident occurred at 2 a.m. local time, 23 miles northeast of Al Khasab in Oman.
US and Iran Claims Diverge
President Donald Trump stated that the US and Iran are resuming talks to end the war, while Iran insisted it was only discussing the Strait of Hormuz with Oman. Trump expressed frustration with Iran, saying they asked for talks but then denied it.
The cargo ship suffered damage, but the UKMTO did not provide further information on the ship or its cargo. The Strait of Hormuz has been effectively shut down by Iran’s attacks on shipping since the start of the war in February.
