An Iranian commercial vessel was struck early Sunday off Qeshm Island near the Strait of Hormuz, Iranian state-run media reported on September 13, 2026. One person was killed and three were wounded, according to the reports.
The United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations monitor separately reported that a vessel had been hit by a projectile while transiting the strait. It provided no further details, and the available reports did not establish whether the monitor was referring to the same vessel.
There was no immediate statement from the U.S. military. The U.S. military previously struck Iranian-flagged vessels as it continued a blockade of Iranian ports.
The strike occurred amid continuing tensions around the Strait of Hormuz, a waterway regarded as international before the United States and Israel launched the war on February 28. Iran said Saturday that foreign ministers from regional countries would meet to discuss efforts by Iran and Oman, located on the other side of the strait, to manage shipping through the waterway.
