Fresh Hormuz Attack Underscores Risks of Trump’s ‘Project Freedom’ Push...
posted on: May 7, 2026
UKMTO has issued a new verified attack warning for the Strait of Hormuz after a cargo vessel was reportedly struck by an “unknown projectile,” underscoring the continued dangers facing commercial shipping despite Washington’s push to reopen limited traffic through the waterway. The advisory was issued at 1830 UTC on May 5 and states that “a verified source reported a cargo vessel has been struck by an unknown projectile.” UKMTO said the environmental impact remains unknown and advised ships in the area to report suspicious activity while authorities investigate. No vessel name, flag, ownership details, or exact location were included in the initial warning. The latest incident comes less than 48 hours after the United States announced what it framed as the first successful escorted commercial transits through the Strait since the outbreak of the U.S.-Iran conflict in late February. Since Sunday, the Trump administration has publicly promoted “Project Freedom,”...
Trump Abruptly Pauses ‘Project Freedom’ Hormuz Shipping Operation as Iran Talks Advance...
posted on: May 7, 2026
President Donald Trump said Tuesday that the United States is pausing its newly launched “Project Freedom” maritime operation in the Strait of Hormuz as negotiations with Iran move toward what he described as a potential “complete and final agreement.” In a social media post, Trump said the decision followed requests from Pakistan and “other Countries” and cited both recent U.S. military operations against Iran and diplomatic progress with Iranian representatives. “We have mutually agreed that, while the Blockade will remain in full force and effect, Project Freedom (The Movement of Ships through the Strait of Hormuz) will be paused for a short period of time to see whether or not the Agreement can be finalized and signed,” Trump wrote. Video Paused The announcement marks a dramatic shift from statements from the Trump Administration just hours earlier touting Project Freedom as the first serious attempt to evacuate ships and restore...
US and Iran launch new attacks as they wrestle for control of Gulf waters...

DUBAI/WASHINGTON, May 4 (Reuters) – The U.S. and Iran launched new attacks in the Gulf on Monday as they wrestled for control over the Strait of Hormuz with duelling maritime blockades, shaking a fragile truce. The fresh volleys of missiles and drones came after U.S. President Donald Trump launched a new effort to get stranded tankers and other ships through the strait, the vital energy-trade chokepoint that has been virtually closed since the U.S. and Israel began attacks on Iran in February, a war that has killed thousands of people across the region.

Evacuations planned as suspected hantavirus outbreak traps 150 on ship off Cape Verde...

AMSTERDAM, GENEVA, May 4 (Reuters) – Medics were working on Monday to evacuate two people with symptoms of the deadly hantavirus after a suspected outbreak on a luxury cruise ship held off West Africa carrying mostly British, American and Spanish passengers, officials said. Around 150 people were still stuck on the vessel after three people – a Dutch couple and a German national – died, and others fell ill, including a Briton who left the vessel and was being treated in South Africa, authorities added. Keep up with the latest medical breakthroughs and healthcare trends with the Reuters Health Rounds newsletter. Sign up here. The Netherlands’ National Institute for Public Health and the Environment (RIVM), which is assisting with the outbreak, said hantavirus had been confirmed in one of the patients showing symptoms.

India Linked Ship Carrying Cooking Fuel Manages Hormuz Exit...
posted on: May 6, 2026
By Weilun Soon and Rakesh Sharma May 2, 2026 (Bloomberg) –An India-linked tanker laden with liquefied petroleum gas has managed to transit the Strait of Hormuz, a rare crossing that underscores the country’s struggle to alleviate an historic energy crisis. The Marshall Islands-flagged Sarv Shakti — laden with around 45,000 tons of LPG, commonly used as cooking fuel — appeared to move into the Gulf of Oman after sailing past Iran’s Larak and Qeshm islands on Saturday, according to ship-tracking data. The very large gas carrier has previously made runs between the Persian Gulf and Indian ports and is broadcasting that it’s heading to the country and has Indian crew, a safety measure frequently adopted by ships since the Iran war began. State-run Indian Oil Corp. was listed as the buyer of the cargo, according to a shipping document seen by Bloomberg. IOC didn’t immediately respond to an email seeking comment. Sarv...

India Reveals Unreported Incident of Iran Firing Warning Shots at Tanker...
posted on: May 4, 2026
Indian officials, during an inter-ministerial meeting on Monday, revealed the details of an incident over the weekend during which a small product tanker with Indian seafarers was shot at by the IRGC. They reported that none of the Indians aboard the product tanker were injured but said they are continuing to monitor the Persian Gulf situation closely as many Indian ships and seafarers remain trapped. Shipping Minister Director Mandeep Singh Radhawa detailed the incident involving the product tanker Chrion 7, which he said was in the Shinas Other Port of Oman on Saturday, April 25. He said it was the latest demonstration of the heightened concerns and cited it as an example of the ministry’s efforts. The reports vary slightly in detail, including some suggesting that the Chrion 7, a 9.025 dwt product tanker registered in Togo, was boarded, or that there was an attempt to board the vessel. It has...
U.S. Navy Destroyer Suffers Serious Fire in the Indo-Pacific...
posted on: May 4, 2026
U.S. officials have confirmed that a fire seriously damaged a guided missile destroyer operating in the Indo-Pacific Command area of operations. Multiple officials told CBS that a significant fire had occurred aboard the Arleigh Burke-class destroyer USS Higgins. One official confirmed that the blaze took out propulsion and electrical power – a significant development if true. A casualty would have to affect both of the Burke-class’ two fully redundant, compartmentalized engine rooms in order to disable the vessel. The USS Higgins‘ exact location and the circumstances of the fire have not been disclosed. No injuries have been reported. The ship is based in Yokosuka, attached to 7th Fleet, and has sailed several sensitive missions in the Indo-Pacific, including two transits of the Taiwan Strait in the last two years. Higgins‘ last AIS signal transmission was detected in Singapore in February. It is the fourth fire event affecting U.S. Navy warships this year, following...
Iranian Trader Boats are Still Crossing the Strait of Hormuz...
posted on: May 4, 2026
For decades, probably much longer, traders based in Iran have crossed the Strait of Hormuz, bringing goods to Oman’s Musandam governorate, bartering their cargos with merchants in Khasab, and then returning with cargoes of whatever is in short supply in Iran. This long-established trade is legal as far as the Omani authorities are concerned, but illegal in Iran in the eyes of the Islamic Republic of Iran Customs Administration (IRICA). For this reason, the traders come across the Strait in the last hours of darkness to avoid Iranian customs patrols, with sometimes as many as 500 powerful speedboats racing into Khasab harbor though the mist shortly after dawn. What the trader speedboats carry depends on the season: at the appropriate harvest time in Iran, it could be pistachio nuts, tomato puree or even live sheep. Carpets are a frequent cargo. Waiting for the trader speedboats are Khasab’s merchants, ready...
Hormuz Traffic Ticks Up With More Vessels Outbound...
posted on: May 4, 2026
Traffic is picking up again in the Strait of Hormuz, despite dueling blockades by U.S. and Iranian forces, according to maritime security consultancy Windward. 19 vessels made the transit throught the waterway on April 25, most outbound and all of them broadcasting AIS – a possible sign of recovery, at least for one day. The number would have been higher if Iranian shipping interests had been unimpeded, but the U.S. Navy is working on making its naval cordon more efficient, with some success. The most noteworthy crossing was the megayacht Nord, linked to Russia’s wealthiest businessman, the sanctioned steel and mining magnate Alexey Mordashov. Iran has a friendly relationship with Moscow, based on defense ties, and has an incentive to allow Russian traffic to use the strait. Nord is immediately recognizable: she is an iconic Lurssen yacht, ranking among the largest in the world, and has a distinctive and imposing appearance designed...
Yemen reports hijacked oil tanker headed for Somalia...
posted on: May 4, 2026
Yemen’s Coast Guard has said that it is attempting to recover an oil tanker that was hijacked off the coast and is now heading towards Somalia. The “M/T Eureka” was seized off Yemen’s southeastern Shabwa province as armed assailants boarded and took control of the vessel, the coastguard said in a statement on Saturday. The hijackers then steered the tanker to the Gulf of Aden towards the Somali coast. The attack is at least the fourth to take place near Somalia in recent weeks, with pirate activity in the area on the rise in an apparent reaction to the war in Iran. Officials say pirates have become emboldened as naval forces patrolling the Red Sea area are distracted by the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz and civilian maritime routes diverted. The coastguard said that it was working with international partners and relevant authorities in the Gulf of Aden to...
