Iranian ship attacked in Strait of Hormuz, state media says
An Iranian commercial vessel was attacked in the Strait of Hormuz early Sunday morning, leaving one person dead and four crew members wounded, according to Iranian state media.
The state-run Islamic Republic News Agency quoted the governor of Qeshm Island saying that an Iranian container ship was hit by an “unidentified projectile” near the island of Hengam.
The episode came as Iran prepared to meet with Gulf states in Oman on Monday to discuss safe passage for shipping traffic in the Strait of Hormuz.
