The traffic in Strait of Hormuz stayed again paralyzed after two vessels were attacked on Saturday (18).
According to Marine Traffic data, most vessels in the area have moved inland from the Persian Gulf or to relatively safe locations toward the Gulf of Oman.
On Saturday, Iranian speedboats fired at a tanker that was transiting the canal, and a second vessel would have been hit by an “unknown projectile”, according to the United Kingdom Maritime Traffic Organization.
New Delhi said two Indian-flagged vessels were involved in incidents in the strait and summoned his Iranian ambassador to address the matter.
The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said it will block the strait and that “approaching the Strait of Hormuz will be considered cooperation with the enemy, and any offending vessel will be fired upon.”
