Story summary

The Singapore-flagged container ship GFS Pride sank on October 14 after being struck by an unknown projectile in the Strait of Hormuz, according to Singaporean authorities. All 21 crew members were safely evacuated with no injuries reported. Iran's Revolutionary Guards claimed the ship hit naval mines but provided photos showing smoke and floating containers, suggesting a different cause. Another Singapore-flagged vessel, GFS Giselle, also sustained damage from an attack on October 15, though it reached safety.

These incidents come amid increased Iranian attacks targeting commercial vessels in the Strait of Hormuz since the start of the US-Israel war with Iran. The UK Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) reported at least five such attacks over two days, indicating a deliberate strategy by Tehran to disrupt oil shipments and economic activities through the strategic waterway.

Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf stated that his country will continue fighting until Washington accepts its demands. The attacks have significantly slowed maritime traffic in the region, affecting global trade and oil prices amid the upcoming US midterm elections.
