Summary
At least two missiles hit commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz on Monday night, damaging both vessels but causing no casualties, according to Axios citing a US official.
The strike appears to test a late-June US-Iran deal to halt attacks while the two sides pursue a broader peace agreement.
UKMTO separately reported a tanker was struck by an unknown projectile about 8 nautical miles east of Limah, Oman, matching one of the incidents under investigation.
The attack revives pressure on a vital shipping lane after earlier reports linked Iran to recent vessel strikes despite the ceasefire and ongoing talks.
