Cargo Ship Attacked Near Strait of Hormuz Amid Iran Peace Proposal

A cargo ship near the Strait of Hormuz reported being attacked by multiple small craft on Sunday, the first such incident since April 22, according to the UK Maritime Trade Operations. The unidentified northbound carrier was attacked off Sirik, Iran, east of the strait; all crew are safe. No claim of responsibility has been made. The attack comes as Iran makes a new proposal to the US seeking to end the war within 30 days, as reported by state-linked media. The fragile three-week ceasefire appears to hold, though US President Donald Trump has indicated further strikes remain possible. Iranian patrol boats, small and hard to detect, have attacked several ships, and Trump ordered the US military to shoot small Iranian boats that deploy mines. Tehran has asserted control over the strait, demanding tolls from ships not affiliated with the US or Israel.
