Three cargo ships have been struck in the Strait of Hormuz after Donald Trump urged oil tankers to “show some guts” and sail through the passage off the coast of Iran.
The Thailand-flagged bulk carrier Mayuree Naree was hit by unknown projectiles on Wednesday, with images showing black smoke billowing out from the vessel.
The Japan-flagged container ship One Majesty and the Marshall Islands-flagged Star Gwyneth also came under fire in the narrow strait between Iran and Oman, where around one-fifth of the world’s oil and liquefied natural gas passes.
