An Iranian commercial ship is struck near Strait of Hormuz with 1 dead, Iranian media say
Iranian officials said the crew was evacuated after a fire broke out, and investigators had not identified the projectile that killed one crew member.
- On Sunday, an unidentified projectile struck an Iranian merchant vessel near Qeshm and Hengam islands in the Strait of Hormuz, killing one crew member and wounding three others.

- Stabilizing transit remains a priority as the conflict between Iran and the U.S. persists, with Iran and Oman continuing diplomatic coordination efforts to manage shipping through the strategic waterway.
