Iran fired upon a commercial vessel 7.5 nautical miles off the coast of Oman. The ship was attempting to transit the Strait of Hormuz on a route that Iran had not approved and had not coordinated with the Persian Gulf Strait Authority. The incident was reported as a direct attack by Iranian forces.
The vessel’s crew reported being hit by a missile strike, and the ship suffered damage to its hull. Iranian officials have stated that the attack was a response to the vessel’s unauthorized passage.
