Reports on Thursday, June 25, described how Iranian forces struck a cargo ship off the coast of Oman. The strike occurred hours after the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps warned ships not to use a new United Nations-backed route through the Strait of Hormuz without permission from Tehran.
According to the United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations center, the vessel sustained damage, but no casualties occurred. Two U.S. officials also told Reuters that Iran had fired on the ship, which was struck roughly 7.5 nautical miles southeast of Dahit, Oman.
The strike comes after tankers and cargo ships began using a new maritime corridor closer to the Oman coast - a route that had been agreed by the International Maritime Organization and Oman. Vessels trapped in the Persian Gulf since the war began on February 28 were expected to pass through the strait as part of a mass evacuation mission announced in recent days.
