CENTCOM said a civilian crew member was missing and the vessel was unable to continue its voyage because of an onboard fire and significant damage to its engine room.Following the attack, CENTCOM said it launched a third round of strikes this week against Iran. US forces targeted about 140 Iranian military sites, including missile and drone positions, naval capabilities, ammunition storage facilities, communication networks and coastal surveillance locations. CENTCOM said the strikes were carried out at the direction of the US President to degrade Iran's ability to attack civilian mariners and commercial vessels transiting the Strait of Hormuz.Also Read: Iran-US tensions flare again- UAE air defences engage missiles, sirens sound in Bahrain, Kuwait on alertCENTCOM said it has struck more than 300 targets over three nights this week in response to attacks on commercial shipping. It also said US forces have helped facilitate the safe passage of more than 800 commercial vessels and 400 million barrels of crude oil through the Strait of Hormuz since early May.The MEA also expressed concern over repeated attacks on commercial shipping in the region and called for efforts to restore peace and maritime security."The continuing incidents of attacks on commercial shipping in the region are deeply worrisome. We reiterate our call for immediate de-escalation of tensions, and the conclusion of ongoing negotiations for a diplomatic solution so that peace and stability can return to the region. The targeting of commercial shipping and civilian infrastructure in the region must end, and free and unimpeded navigation and commerce through the international waterways in the region, in keeping with international law, must be restored at the earliest," the MEA said.
