Iran Attacked A Civilian Vessel In The Strait Of Hormuz

The consequences are already known.

Iran attacked a civilian vessel in the Strait of Hormuz, which is one of the key routes for global maritime shipping.

This was reported by CBS News.

The incident occurred off the coast of Oman—a Singapore-flagged cargo ship in the Strait of Hormuz was struck by an “unknown projectile.”

The ship’s bridge was damaged as a result of the strike, but no one was injured.

The U.S.-approved shipping route through the Strait of Hormuz runs along the coast of Oman, while Iran insists on using the northern route.

“Any passage along routes outside the limits defined by the PGSA will not be covered by safe-passage guarantees and will not be eligible for insurance coverage or related obligations,” the Tehran-established Strait of Hormuz Authority (PGSA) stated following the shelling,

The agency emphasized that “the owner, operator, and captain of the vessel will bear responsibility for transiting via unauthorized routes.”

Problems in the Strait of Hormuz

As is well known, on June 20 it was reported that Iran had closed the Strait of Hormuz just days after concluding a peace agreement with the United States.

On June 22, the United States and Iran agreed to establish a special “line of communication.” It was expected that this would ensure the safe passage of ships through the Strait of Hormuz.

Meanwhile, on June 23, U.S. President Donald Trump stated that the Strait of Hormuz was “fully open” and that on June 21, more oil had been shipped through it than ever before.

Also, on June 24, the U.S. stated that passage through the strait would be free and that no country in the world would support the imposition of a toll. This was announced by U.S. Secretary of State Mark Rubio.
