Iran fires warning shots at French ship in Hormuz

The French shipping company CMA CGM has confirmed that one of its vessels was subjected to gunfire in the Strait of Hormuz yesterday. This incident aligns with earlier reports that the Iranian navy fired warning shots at a French ship in the strategic waterway. The attack underscores the escalating tensions in the region, where Iran has recently closed the strait and engaged in multiple confrontations with international shipping. The Strait of Hormuz remains a critical chokepoint for global oil shipments, and this event adds to a series of disruptions that have halted commercial traffic.
