The Wall Street Journal is reporting that according to two senior U.S. officials, Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps-Navy attacked a Singapore-flagged cargo ship transiting the Strait of Hormuz today, damaging the vessel's bridge. No casualties were reported. The attack comes just one week after the U.S. and Iran reached an agreement to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and ensure the safe passage of commercial shipping. In response to today's attack, the International Maritime Organization (IMO) has paused its evacuation operation for ships waiting to leave the Persian Gulf while it reassesses security guarantees. The incident also follows Iran's warning earlier today that vessels transiting without its authorization could face "consequences." Source:
