Container ship hit amid Gulf of Oman attacks as Iran demands conditions for Strait of Hormuz opening.

A container ship was struck by a projectile in the Gulf of Oman, according to the United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO). The incident occurred off the coast of Pakistan, a region that has seen multiple attacks on commercial vessels. The United Arab Emirates says one of its own ships was targeted by an airstrike in the same area. Iran has announced that it will only open the Strait of Hormuz after meeting certain conditions it has set. These events have heightened concerns about the safety and security of maritime traffic through the Strait of Hormuz and surrounding waters.
