Dubai, Apr 22: Iran’s Revolutionary Guard targeted a container ship with gunfire in the Strait of Hormuz on Wednesday, causing damage and escalating tensions after planned Pakistan ceasefire talks collapsed.
The British military’s UK Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) reported the 7:55 a.m. attack, noting a Guard gunboat fired without prior hail. No injuries or environmental damage occurred.
Iran has not commented. The incident follows U.S. seizures of an Iranian container ship over the weekend and an oil tanker linked to Iran’s Indian Ocean oil trade.
