WASHINGTON — Iran attacked a cargo ship traveling through the Strait of Hormuz on Thursday, according to two American officials who shared the information with Reuters under the condition that their names not be used.
The vessel had already reported being struck by a projectile before the Iranian attack. According to the British navy’s maritime agency, UKMTO, the ship was hit on its starboard side at a location approximately 7.5 nautical miles to the southeast of Oman’s port of Dahit.
