The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps attacked a ship in the Strait of Hormuz, ignoring the fact that President Donald Trump signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian aimed at ending the war and establishing a ceasefire.

The affected merchant vessel was flying the flag of Singapore and, by shooting at it, the Iranians shook attempts to achieve peace with the United States.

Through a statement issued by the United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations Center, it is indicated that, when hit on its starboard side by a projectile, the command bridge of the ship in question suffered considerable damage, although there were no human victims to report.

On condition of not revealing his identity, a US official consulted by the CBS News television network corroborated the attack off the coast of Dahit, Oman.

It should be noted that, while the Strait of Hormuz remained practically closed to navigation since February 28, with short transit periods especially for ships flying Chinese or Russian flags, hundreds of sailors were later stranded waiting to negotiate their way out of there.

In fact, some ships chose to pay thousands of dollars to Iran through a type of toll; while others had no choice but to wait.

Recently, Trump announced the reopening of navigation on the coastline shared between Iran and Oman, without imagining the fate that awaited the aforementioned Singapore ship.

The position taken by the government of the Islamic Republic practically forces any vessel to request permission to cross the Strait of Hormuz with a view to beginning to collect a toll later.

“Any passage through routes that fall outside the framework designated by the PGSA will not be covered by safe passage guarantees and will not be entitled to insurance coverage or related liabilities,” the Iran Strait Persian Gulf Authority said in a statement.

So far, no statement has emerged in Washington regarding the attack against the aforementioned ship.
