Iranian media reports that two ships were attacked in the Strait of Hormuz after allegedly violating a newly declared prohibition on passage through the vital waterway. The circumstances surrounding the vessels, including their flags and cargo, remain unconfirmed. This announcement followed Iran’s earlier declaration of a complete closure of the Strait of Hormuz to all vessels, including oil tankers and commercial shipping. According to the statement, any ships attempting to enter the strait will be targeted. The timing of the reported attacks suggests a direct link to Iran’s enforcement of the closure. This action significantly raises tensions in the region, a critical transit point for global oil supplies. Further details are currently unavailable, and independent verification of the claims is pending.
