Two cargo vessels traveling in the Strait of Hormuz were fired upon by Iranian Revolutionary Guard boats on Wednesday. One of the ships was damaged in the attacks, but there were no reported injuries or fatalities from the gunfire in either confrontation. Both incidents occurred hours after President Donald Trump announced the U.S. would extend its ceasefire agreement with Iran, which was set to expire on Wednesday.
Iran said it had taken custody of the ships and was bringing them to Iranian ports, though that is unverified. It also claimed to have fired on a third ship, called the Euphoria, but that also has not been verified.
