According to CoinMeta, a cargo ship in the Strait of Hormuz was attacked with artillery shells while passing through the waterway, causing damage to the engine room and resulting in one crew member being injured or killed. The UK Maritime Trade Operations Agency stated that the attack indicates that the navigational risks in this waterway still exist. This incident occurred after the ceasefire agreement between the United States and Iran expired, with both sides refusing to engage in further negotiations. Analysts expect that the two parties will fall into a longer period of stalemate. U.S. President Donald Trump has ruled out the possibility of extending the ceasefire, stating that Iran would not accept the terms of the agreement that he deems necessary. Analysts point out that the resumption of traffic in the Strait of Hormuz will be limited, and the hostile state between the U.S. and Iran continues.
