As a result of Iran's blockade of the strait, two civilian vessels were fired upon. Due to the naval siege of the ports, 23 merchant ships were forced to change their course.

After Iran's re-closure of the Strait of Hormuz, at least two merchant ships were fired upon while attempting to cross the strait. This was reported by UNN with reference to Reuters and BBC.

The consequences of this incident are not yet known. At the same time, according to the US Central Command, 23 vessels have been forced to turn back near the Strait of Hormuz since the introduction of the naval blockade of Iranian ports.

Context

Iranian authorities announced the re-closure of the Strait of Hormuz and accused the United States of "violating agreements." Meanwhile, in the Persian Gulf on Saturday, April 18, several oil tankers turned back after attempting to pass through the Strait of Hormuz.

Recall

Iran denied statements by US President Donald Trump about its alleged readiness to transfer enriched uranium to the United States.
