It reports that a cargo ship was struck by a projectile, believed to be caused by Iran\u2019s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), with no injuries reported. The incident highlights ongoing regional instability, with Iran warning ships to avoid certain routes and threatening attacks on vessels that do not comply.This escalation occurred shortly after international efforts, including those by the UN\u2019s International Maritime Association, to facilitate safe passage for ships through the strait. The attack demonstrated Iran\u2019s capacity to disrupt shipping traffic despite international concerns and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/trump-interview-cited-as-evidence-by-abrego-garcia-lawyers\/\" title=\"Trump interview cited as evidence by Abrego Garcia lawyers\">ongoing diplomatic negotiations<\/a>. The Strait remains a vital route for global oil transportation, and the events underscore the fragile security situation in the region amidst broader geopolitical tensions involving the US, Israel, and Iran.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><br \/>\n<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC \"-\/\/W3C\/\/DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional\/\/EN\" \"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/TR\/REC-html40\/loose.dtd\"><br \/>\n<?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><html><body><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>The on-again, off-again fighting around the Strait of Hormuz flared up again on Thursday when a projectile struck a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/iran-strikes-cargo-ship-in-strait-of-hormuz\/\" title=\"Iran strikes ... in ... of ...\">cargo ship passing<\/a> through the waterway.<\/p>\n<p>There were no injuries in the incident, according to a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ukmto.org\/-\/media\/ukmto\/products\/20260625-ukmto_warning_attack-074-26.pdf?rev=c29ac3f0344c40dd9d6ad32e6a3dbb0f\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">terse report<\/a> from the United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations center, an agency of the British military that monitors security conditions at sea.<\/p>\n<p>But it highlighted how tense the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/philippines-manila-bans-unvaccinated-from-leaving-homes-duterte-threatens-arrest\/\" title=\"Philippines: Manila Bans Unvaccinated from Leaving Homes, Duterte Threatens Arrest\">region remains<\/a>.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Fears in Strait of Hormuz as tanker struck after Iran warned ships to turn back <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/jsclx4fRxE\">https:\/\/t.co\/jsclx4fRxE<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/bXy2SdZXaZ\">pic.twitter.com\/bXy2SdZXaZ<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 New York Post (@nypost) <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/nypost\/status\/2070183186068353312?\">June 25, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.x.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><br \/>  The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/world\/middle-east\/iran-attacks-cargo-ship-testing-trumps-deal-to-reopen-strait-d3cf454c?st=nx1H7k&#038;reflink=desktopweb_permalink\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Wall Street Journal<\/a> identified the targeted vessel as the Singapore-flagged Ever Lovely.<\/p>\n<p>It identified its attackers as Iran\u2019s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/us-forces-moving-crack-hard-irgc-closes-straight-hormuz-yet\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">backbone<\/a> of the nation\u2019s military force.<\/p>\n<p>And it noted that the attack came after Iran warned ships that they are subject to attack if they attempt to use routes through the strait that Tehran has not approved.<\/p>\n<p>The attack came only two days after the International Maritime Organization \u2014 a United Nations agency that monitors shipping safety \u2014 announced it was coordinating a shipping route for tankers to get safely through the strait.<\/p>\n<p>Iran responded by issuing a warning that any vessels attempting to transit the strait outside of routes approved by Iran would be subject to attack.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">BREAKING \ud83d\udd34<\/p>\n<p>Ships are again turning around in the Strait of Hormuz.
