Ship Hit in Hormuz Strait Halts Evacuation

A cargo ship sailing through the Strait of Hormuz was struck by a projectile, forcing the UN to pause its evacuation of over 11,000 stranded sailors. Former President Trump condemned the attack as a “foolish violation” of the truce, noting one drone hit the vessel while three were shot down. The ship, the Ever Lovely, suffered minor damage and continued safely. Iran’s Revolutionary Guard had warned ships using UN-designated routes would face consequences, claiming the strait is Iranian territory. The UN’s maritime chief confirmed the targeted ship wasn’t part of their evacuation plan and is now negotiating with the U.S., Iran, and Oman to ensure future safety. Before the halt, over 11,500 vessels and 2,500 crew had safely passed through. The strait reopened under a recent U.S.-Iran ceasefire allowing free passage for 60 days — but Iran now plans to charge fees, a move the U.S. fiercely opposes.
