An Iranian commercial ship was attacked in the Strait of Hormuz on Sunday, September 13, resulting in one death and three injuries, according to Iranian authorities. The attack took place off the island of Qeshm, which is situated in the strategically important Strait of Hormuz—a narrow waterway through which about 20% of the world's seaborne oil trade passes. The governor of Qeshm, quoted by state television and the news agency Tasnim, said the attack occurred around 5 a.m. local time (03:30 Paris time), but no details were given about who carried it out or from where. The incident occurred amid heightened tensions between Iran and the United States, particularly around the Strait of Hormuz. In the past two weeks, Iran has reportedly targeted oil tankers in the strait and U.S. military bases in Gulf countries, as a response to U.S. military actions against Iranian targets. The U.S. military has said it has turned away 100 ships since mid-July, when it resumed a blockade of Iranian ports, aiming to reduce Iran's revenue and in response to Iran's earlier threats to block the Strait of Hormuz. Separately, the United Kingdom’s Maritime Trade Operations reported that a vessel was struck by a projectile while traveling through the strait, though no further details were given. It remains unclear whether this was the same attack that injured the Iranian ship. The U.S. military has not immediately commented on the incident, despite having previously targeted Iranian-flagged vessels as part of its ongoing blockade of Iranian ports. In a related development, Iran announced on Saturday that foreign ministers from regional countries would meet to discuss efforts by Iran and Oman—located on opposite sides of the Strait of Hormuz—to manage shipping operations in the area. Meanwhile, Houthi rebels in Yemen, who are backed by Iran, claimed they launched drones and missiles toward southern Saudi Arabia, increasing pressure on a key U.S. ally in the region. A Houthi military spokesperson said the attack targeted a military base in the Sharurah province of the Najran region, but no evidence or specific timing was provided.
