The Iranian Armed Forces have attacked a Thailand-flagged vessel that attempted to pass through the Strait of Hormuz without Tehran’s permission.
According to sea-news.az that the ship ignored the warnings of the Iranian Navy and attempted to continue its movement through the waters of the strait. Following this, the Iranian military struck the vessel.
No information has been provided regarding the damage sustained or potential casualties.
The latest escalation in the U.S.–Iran conflict began on July 8. For the first time since the signing of a memorandum between Washington and Tehran, the U.S. Armed Forces launched a series of strikes on Iranian territory. The U.S. explained this as a response to an attack on a merchant vessel in the Strait of Hormuz.
On the same day, U.S. President Donald Trump announced that the ceasefire with Iran had been suspended. As part of retaliatory measures, Tehran has begun launching strikes on U.S. facilities located in Bahrain, Jordan, Qatar, Kuwait, the UAE, and Oman.
