A British ship is reportedly among those to have suffered significant damage after Iran’s Revolutionary Guards fired at least two missiles at commercial vessels transiting through the Strait of Hormuz on Monday.
The United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations agency (UKMTO) said early on Tuesday that a tanker was hit by an unknown projectile on its port side while travelling southbound about eight nautical miles east of Limah in Oman, causing a fire.
No casualties or environmental impact was reported by Axios, the political website which broke the story.
The development comes after indirect US-Iran talks ended last week without any public sign of headway toward a lasting peace, despite a 60-day ceasefire intended to create space for diplomacy.
