Cargo ship sinks near Strait of Hormuz after September missile strike: IMO

The International Maritime Organization has revealed that a cargo ship sank near the Strait of Hormuz after being struck by a missile on September 23.

The United States Central Command previously confirmed that commercial shipping continues through the Strait of Hormuz, thanks to coordinated protection provided by US forces and regional partners.

On the social media platform X, it added that Iran's ambassador to the International Maritime Organization recently claimed that the US military uses threatening, abusive, and provocative language against Iranian sailors, causing significant tension and psychological pressure on civilian crews. However, this allegation was dismissed as unfounded.
