Shortly before this incident, several cargo ships attempting to traverse this critical waterway turned back. The latest developments could hinder the swift reopening of the strait. The United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) stated that the unidentified cargo ship was attacked on its side while sailing southeast toward Oman, causing damage to the bridge. UKMTO, which coordinates communication between merchant ships and military forces, advised vessels to "navigate cautiously." Oil prices rose following the incident, with Brent crude climbing above $75 per barrel to an intraday high. Earlier, U.S. media reported that the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps attacked a Singapore-flagged cargo ship in the Strait of Hormuz on Thursday. However, a White House official stated that it is too early to determine which party was responsible for the attack. The official noted that the U.S. is investigating the responsible party, including whether the operation was ordered by senior members of the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps or carried out independently by lower-level personnel. The official also confirmed that the attack did not result in any casualties or environmental damage, and the affected vessel was able to continue its voyage.
