Ships continued to cross the Strait of Hormuz Monday, though the number broadcasting their passage dropped, as some companies said vessel attacks over the weekend had made them less confident about navigation.
The US said that Iran attacked an oil tanker on Saturday, just a few days after a container ship was struck by a projectile. The incidents happened in a stretch of water near Oman’s coast through which American forces have been coordinating transits. A military liaison with shipping said Sunday that there had been no interruption in US-assisted navigation, even if traffic dipped “slightly.”
