Another ship has been attacked near Orzume, according to the British maritime agency
For its part, the US Army has confirmed that it has hit "more than 7,000 targets" in Iran and has "damaged or destroyed" more than 100 ships since the start of the joint offensive with Israel on 28 February.
A new attack on a tanker near the Strait of Hormuz was reported this Tuesday by the United Kingdom Maritime Operations Agency (UKMTO), which monitors the safety of ships and seamen around the world.
The unidentified flagship "caught an unknown projectile as it anchored "and, according to the British agency, there have been no injuries to the crew, but" minor structural damage ".
The UKMTO has asked the vessels in the area to exercise extreme caution and to inform the agency of any suspicious activity.
The disaster has occurred 23 nautical miles (about 42.6 kilometres) from the city of Fujairah, near the Strait of Hormuz, a strategic maritime transport hub, particularly oil and gas, which has been virtually blocked since the United States and Israel began the war against Iran.
Since 28 February, when the United States and Israel began their attacks on Iran, UKMTO has been involved in about 20 incidents around the Persian Gulf, the Strait of Hormuz and the Gulf of Oman.
The Strait of Hormuz, through which 20% of the world's crude oil and gas flows in peacetime, is experiencing a dramatic decline in its traffic as a result of the Iranian bombings and the response of the Persian country to attacks on American bases and interests in the Persian Gulf nations.
More than 7,000 targets have been achieved.
On the other hand, the US Army has assured Monday that it has achieved "more than 7000 targets " in Iran and has "damaged or destroyed" more than 100 Iranian ships since it began its surprise offensive with Israel against the Central Asian country on 28 February, which has already left more than 1200 dead, according to Tehran, or more than 3000, according to the NGO Human Rights Activists in Iran.
