Iran War: One dead after attack on Iranian container ship
An attack on a civilian Iranian ship in the Strait of Hormuz has claimed one life. What is known about the incident and the tense situation.
An Iranian container ship was attacked in the Strait of Hormuz on Sunday morning, killing one man and injuring four crew members, according to Iran's state news agency Irna. The attack, by an "unknown projectile", occurred near Hengam island. The UK Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) had earlier reported an attack on a ship in the strait, but it was initially unclear if it was the same incident. The Strait of Hormuz is a key passage for oil, liquefied gas, and fertilizer exports from Persian Gulf states.
