The UK's Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) reported on Sunday that multiple small craft attacked an unidentified northbound cargo ship off the coast of Sirik, Iran, east of the Strait of Hormuz, with all crew members safe and no group claiming responsibility. The incident marks the first reported attack in the area since April 22, amid Iranian officials' statements asserting control over the strait and allowing passage for non-U.S./Israel-affiliated ships upon payment of a toll. Broader context includes at least two dozen prior attacks since heightened U.S.-Iran tensions and U.S. President Donald Trump's recent directives on responding to Iranian threats in the strait.
