Iran’s Revolutionary Guards reportedly fire at least two missiles at commercial ships transiting the Strait of Hormuz on Monday night, according to multiple outlets citing U.S. officials. The reporting says two vessels suffer significant damage but no casualties are reported. The attacks are described as occurring while the United States and Iran are working through negotiations following a recent late-June memorandum of understanding that calls for halting attacks in the waterway. Other coverage links the timing to the end of a Qatar-mediated, week-long arrangement between Washington and Tehran to suspend hostilities in the Strait of Hormuz.
Separate reports also cite a maritime incident near Oman. Britain’s maritime security agency says a tanker caught fire after being hit by a projectile east of Oman in the early hours of Tuesday. Some accounts further note that Iran may have targeted additional vessels in recent days, raising concerns about safety in the strategic passage.
No immediate comment from Iranian officials is reported in the coverage.
