A cargo ship in the Strait of Hormuz reported being hit by an unknown missile. The US and Iran have made different claims about negotiations. US President Donald Trump said that both sides have started negotiations to end the war, but Iran claimed that they only had negotiations with Oman and the discussion focused on the Strait of Hormuz. The cargo ship was hit by an unknown missile 37 kilometers from the city of Al Khasab in Oman, at 02.00 local time. The UKMTO did not provide more information about the ship, but emphasized that the incident occurred in the Strait of Hormuz, highlighting the strategic importance of the region.
