Two cargo ships sink after attacks near Strait of Hormuz
The container ship GFS Pride and the bulk carrier Cape Dao sank after being hit by projectiles near the Strait of Hormuz, with at least one crew member killed. Iran's Revolutionary Guard had described the route they were using as illegal and dangerous.
Why it matters
The Strait of Hormuz is a key chokepoint for global oil and shipping, so attacks there affect energy prices and trade.
Background
The narrow strait links the Persian Gulf to the open ocean and carries a large share of the world's seaborne oil. Iran has long asserted control over shipping routes there, a stance contested by the US and other states.
