Ship is attacked near Strait of Hormuz as Iran reviews US response to latest proposal
A cargo ship near the Strait of Hormuz was attacked by multiple small craft on Sunday, marking at least two dozen attacks in and around the strait since the Iran war began. Iran is reviewing the US response to its latest proposal on ending the war, but made clear these were not nuclear negotiations.
A cargo ship near the Strait of Hormuz was attacked by multiple small craft on Sunday, with all crew members reported safe. The British military's United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations center said the attack occurred off Sirik, Iran, east of the strait. Iranian officials have asserted control over the strait and demanded a toll from ships not affiliated with the US or Israel. The US has ordered its military to 'shoot and kill' small Iranian boats that deploy mines in the strait. Iran is reviewing the US response to its 14-point proposal, which calls for the US to lift sanctions, end its naval blockade, and withdraw forces from the region. The proposal aims to end the war rather than extend the fragile three-week ceasefire.
