The unidentified projectile struck the ship\u2019s port side and sparked a fire, though no casualties were reported.<\/p>\n<p>Two other vessels also came under attack in the Strait of Hormuz, according to UKMTO.<\/p>\n<p>The first tanker was hit by an unidentified projectile while exiting the strait, 16 miles off the coast of the United Arab Emirates. The ship reached its next port of call without suffering any casualties.<\/p>\n<p>An additional tanker was hit by what UKMTO called a drone 6 miles off Oman\u2019s Musandam Peninsula. The attack caused minor structural damage, but no casualties were reported.<\/p>\n<p>The country of origin and the names of the two additional vessels hit in the waterway have not been released.<\/p>\n<p>In response to the attacks, UKMTO raised its Strait of Hormuz threat level to \u201csevere,\u201d adding that \u201cdeliberately hostile action\u201d is likely under the current situation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe recent confirmed incidents highlight that the threat environment remains heightened and warrants extreme vigilance. [Iran\u2019s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps\u2019] hailing and routing pressure continue, particularly for [automatic identification system]-active vessels,\u201d the agency said in a statement.<\/p>\n<p>Iranian state media reported that the Al Rekayyat was transporting liquefied natural gas from Qatar and was targeted by Iranian authorities after ignoring warnings against traveling in Omani waters through Hormuz.<\/p>\n<p>But no Iranian authorities have publicly claimed responsibility for the attacks.<\/p>\n<p>Still, the Foreign Ministry of Qatar blamed Iran for the attack on the Al Rekayyat, calling the incident a violation of international law.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe targeting of the Qatari tanker Al Rekayyat as it was passing near the Strait of Hormuz is an unacceptable attack on the security and safety of international navigation and the security of global energy supplies,\u201d Qatar\u2019s Foreign Ministry spokesperson Majed Al Ansari wrote on X.<\/p>\n<p>Qatar summoned Iran\u2019s deputy ambassador in protest of the attack and called on Iran to halt all activity that could endanger global navigation.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/homebuyerrelocation.com\/?p=3654\">Sanders says Platner should quit Maine Senate race<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Tehran has consistently said that, while the Strait of Hormuz is open, commercial shipping vessels must travel through Iranian-controlled waters and coordinate with Iran\u2019s military or face severe consequences.<\/p>\n<p>Iranian diplomats are in talks with Oman to hammer out an agreement for governance over the strait. Iran reportedly wants to create a framework that would let authorities impose \u201cservice fees\u201d on vessels traveling through the waterway.<\/p>\n<p>The strait was considered international water before the war began in late February, and U.S. officials have insisted they won\u2019t tolerate Iran charging fees on commercial ships.<\/p>\n<p>The attacks are the latest flare-up in Hormuz, a crucial waterway that connects the Gulf of Oman and the Persian Gulf and carries 20% of the world\u2019s annual oil supply.<\/p>\n<p>Under the terms of the Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding, signed by the U.S. and Iran last month, Tehran must keep the strait open and toll-free for at least 60 days while negotiators hammer out a permanent peace deal.<\/p>\n<p>The agreement also calls for a ceasefire on all fronts and for the U.S. and Iran to begin technical negotiations over Tehran\u2019s nuclear program and sanctions relief.<\/p>\n<p>The Washington Times has reached out to the White House for comment.<\/p>\n<p>Shipping has picked up significantly in the strait since the U.S. and Iran signed the memorandum, but traffic is still well below prewar levels. Recent attacks in the waterway are likely to deter commercial shipping companies.<\/p>\n<p>Oil prices jumped almost 2% on Tuesday in reaction to the attacks on the three tankers, with Brent crude futures gaining $1.86 to trade at $72.85 a barrel.<\/p>\n<p>In late June, a commercial vessel was struck by an unidentified projectile while trying to travel through the strait via Omani waters. Iran did not claim responsibility for the attack but was quickly blamed by the U.S., which launched strikes on Iranian military targets shortly after.<\/p>\n<p>Iran retaliated with its own slew of missile and drone attacks on U.S. military installations in the Gulf region.<\/p>\n<p>Iranian and U.S. diplomats met for two days of indirect negotiations last week following the tit-for-tat strikes. Qatari and Pakistani mediators said the talks were productive, but that further direct negotiations would take place after the weeklong funeral for Iran\u2019s slain Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/homebuyerrelocation.com\/?p=3652\">Trump lays into NATO allies at summit kickoff, says Europe is \u2018a very different place\u2019<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Three tanker ships came under attack while traveling in the Strait of Hormuz on Tuesday, according to maritime authorities, straining the U.S.-Iran ceasefire and putting pressure on international shipping.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3657,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6,8],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3658","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","category-security"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
