Iran's Revolutionary Guards attacked a Singapore-flagged commercial vessel in the Strait of Hormuz on Thursday, a U.S. official confirmed to CBS News, posing a challenge to President Trump's efforts to reopen the critical shipping corridor.
The ship's bridge was damaged after it was struck on its starboard side by an "unknown projectile" off the coast of Dahit, Oman, according to an advisory from the U.K. Maritime Trade Operations Centre. The advisory said no casualties or environmental impact were reported.
After the strike, the United Nations' International Maritime Organization temporarily paused a days-old plan to evacuate many of the vessels stranded in the Persian Gulf, pointing to Thursday's strike. IMO Secretary-General Arsenio Dominguez said the halt is needed "in order to reconfirm that the necessary safety guarantees continue to be in place."
The international organization said the vessel had passed through the Strait of Hormuz before it was struck, and it "did not transit under IMO's evacuation framework."

The S&P 500 stock index shrugged it off like it’s nothing today.
It’s well past time to spike the Well in Qom.
“Iran’s Revolutionary Guards attacked a Singapore-flagged commercial vessel in the Strait of Hormuz on Thursday”. I guess Iran doesn’t dig on Singapore all that much.
If I had to bet? I’d bet the attack was done by rogue elements that were not a party to the peace negotiations.
Trump to entire international community: “Look, I’ve tried my best, but these guys are out of control. The ball is in your court now, my friends.”
The Shia in Iran will never abide by any deal. The best plan is to have a Shia exterminator clean the house.
“The best plan is to have a Shia exterminator clean the house.”
Indeed.
“Hey, hey.
Ho’, ho’.
Shia Islam
Gots to go!”
This explains the increase in the price of crude oil today.
-SB
If we can drop smart bombs down ventilation shafts to destroy underground nuclear weapons processing facilities, why not a well?
Would not surprise me a bit but there is still the problem of the oil price. He may try to lay that off on someone else but I doubt that tactic will work out well.
Let’s Go Iran!
We may still have some neutron bombs, but I don’t rea;;y know.
We could make the well and its inhabitants “renewable” in a few Billion Years....
” “unknown projectile” “
A potato?
oil is the same price it was last June ...
Now I’m getting pissed...
Bomb these filthy vermin back into the Stone Age...
Now...
I don't think anyone outside of the WH would buy this line.
It crept up a buck today. I thought it was just finding a bottom before I knew about the Insanian attack today.
And your point is?
you said the oil price is still a problem ... I disagree ... It’s the same price it was a year ago ...
