Three ships attacked in Strait of Hormuz

All three non-Iranian container ships attempting to transit the Strait of Hormuz on April 20th reportedly came under attack, with two confirmed seized. The EPAMINONDAS, a Technomar-owned vessel on charter to MSC, was hit by gunfire and rocket-propelled grenades. The attacks represent a significant escalation in Iran's enforcement of its claimed control over the strategic waterway. The fate of the third vessel and the condition of the crews remain unclear.
