An Iranian-flagged commercial vessel was reportedly attacked by the US Navy in the Strait of Hormuz and adjacent waters of the Gulf of Oman, according to Iran’s semi-official Mehr News Agency. The incident occurred on Tuesday night near the coastal waters of Minab County, where the cargo ship caught fire following the strike. At least ten sailors were injured and taken to a local hospital, while five others remain missing as rescue and search operations continue.
The attack has heightened tensions in one of the world’s most critical energy transport routes. The Strait of Hormuz is a key passage for global oil shipments, and any disruption there often draws international concern. As of the report’s publication, US authorities had not issued any official statement regarding the alleged attack.
The absence of a US response leaves uncertainty about the circumstances and potential diplomatic fallout of the incident, which could further strain regional maritime security.
