🔺Uncertainty over negotiations, as IRGC attacks on ships continue

▪The impact of an unidentified projectile on a bulk carrier near the Strait of Hormuz has increased doubts about how close a deal is to ending the war between the United States and Iran.

▪The UK Maritime Trade Operations organization announced that the ship was targeted near the coasts of Oman. Maritime sources told Reuters that the crew was forced to abandon the vessel and that a sailor was also missing. The incident occurred amid recent reports of attacks and threats against ships in this area.

▪Kpler data shows that on Monday, only six ships—including three tankers and three bulk carriers—transited through the Strait of Hormuz; under normal conditions, more than 100 ships pass through this waterway each day.
