Tension in the Strait of Hormuz has risen again following reports of attacks against three vessels in separate incidents, in one of the world's most sensitive maritime routes. The situation reignites concerns over navigation safety in that strategic zone, through which a decisive share of global energy and merchandise traffic passes.
Among the targeted vessels is the bulk carrier Mayuree Naree, flying the Thai flag, which appears to have been struck by a projectile, causing a fire on board. The crew issued a distress call and 20 crew members were rescued, with others still reported missing. The Star Gwyneth, a bulk carrier flying the Marshall Islands flag, also sustained hull damage following an attack, though crew members remained safe. The container ship ONE MAJESTY, flying the Japanese flag, was likewise struck, sustaining minor damage.
For now, the exact origin of the attacks remains unclear, as does the type of weaponry used. Rather than three isolated incidents, these attacks again demonstrate how maritime security in the Gulf continues to be vulnerable to any military or political escalation.
