Trio of Hormuz attacks disclosed as US-Iran ceasefire talks fail
- UKMTO issued alerts covering three separate attacks on Mersin Prosperity, Sinbad and Al Ruwais, while transiting Hormuz with AIS signals switched off
- Reports follow the recent strike on VLCC Al Funtas and come amid heightened security concerns after ceasefire negotiations between Washington and Tehran failed
- Lloyd’s List Intelligence data shows only limited vessel movements through the strait, with most recorded transits using the Larak Island detour and no traceable crossings recorded on Tuesday
Three previously undisclosed attacks on tankers transiting the Strait of Hormuz have emerged following the breakdown of US-Iran ceasefire negotiations, as vessel traffic through the chokepoint remains heavily constrained
