British Military Confirms Cargo Vessel Hit By Projectile In Strait of Hormuz As Crew Evacuates

A cargo vessel has been struck by an unknown projectile in the strategically important Strait of Hormuz, triggering a fire onboard and forcing the crew to evacuate while requesting emergency assistance, according to maritime authorities.

The incident was reported on Wednesday by the United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO), a monitoring centre run by the British military that tracks threats to commercial shipping across key waterways in the Middle East.

According to Reuters, the maritime security body disclosed that the vessel was hit in waters just north of Oman while passing through the narrow but vital shipping corridor.

In its advisory to maritime operators, the UKMTO said the projectile strike ignited a fire aboard the cargo vessel, creating an emergency situation for the crew.

The agency stated that “the vessel had been hit just north of Oman in the strait.”

It added that “the crew was evacuating the ship,” suggesting the situation onboard had become too dangerous for personnel to remain aboard while awaiting rescue or assistance.

The attack occurred in the Strait of Hormuz, one of the world’s most strategically significant maritime passages. The narrow waterway connects the Persian Gulf to the Gulf of Oman and the Arabian Sea, serving as a major route for global energy supplies.

Industry analysts estimate that roughly one-fifth of the world’s oil and natural gas shipments pass through the strait each day, making any disruption in the corridor a major concern for international trade and global energy markets.

Although no group immediately claimed responsibility for the attack, Iran has previously been accused of targeting vessels in and around the strait amid heightened regional tensions.

“Iran did not immediately claim the attack though it has been targeting ships in and around the strait, disrupting a waterway that sees a fifth of all oil and natural gas traded pass through it.”

A Thai ship has also been hit.

II thought they said Iran can not enforce a blockade?

Whose going to stop them?

The US Navy has been moved 1,000km away from the straits.

US and Israel are yet to have air dominance and Iran has started mining the straits as well as positioning anti ship ballistic missiles and drones along the straits.

If the Houthis could maintain a blockade over the Suez and chase a whole US Aircraft carrier fleet from the Red Sea is it Iran that was supplying the Houthis missiles and drones that can not ensure a blockade over their sovereign waters?

Who fired the projectile, Iran or Israel

Iran has made it clear that they are holding on to this strait for now. The audacity to sail your ships around there is a big call for trouble.

Iran has said that any country that expels the Israeli ambassador will have access to the straits.

Simple.

Going to start a war with people that don't mind using themselves to do Suicide bombing isn't a joke..

Re: Blast Rocks British cargo Ship In The Strait Of Hormuz by kaludestiny10(m): 12:52pm On Mar 11
The UK government thought by not joining the war against Iran, they are safe to use the strait of Hormuz. They forgot that Iran is a radical Islamist country that are on a religious mission.

We are still waiting for Oga Trump to fulfill his promise of sending naval escorts, even his own joint chief chairman have removed his hand from the idea.

I find this news very hard to believe and see it as propaganda to achieve an aim I can't really fathom........

1. Iran cant be bold enough to hit a British registered ship and considering Britain isn't having any parr in the war with stairmer vigorously campaigning against the US aggression against Iran.

2. Why don't we have the name of the ship,pics and videos.

3.ships have been passing through the strait since 4 days now with no issues.

Turning stick.. una no know anything about war except what others post.. anywhere belle face. In as much as I don't support terrorism, but Hormuz is Iran territory and you don't expect them to leverage on it. So in time of war, no one is left out. If you are an ally of my enemy, then you can't use my property for your own convenience
Re: Blast Rocks British cargo Ship In The Strait Of Hormuz by Dogalmighty17: 1:01pm On Mar 11
It is just beginning. Donald Trump doesn't even know what is about to hit him.
