A container vessel operated by CMA CGM was attacked while transiting the Strait of Hormuz, injuring eight crew members and damaging the ship amid ongoing tensions between the U.S. and Iran. The Malta-flagged San Antonio was reportedly struck by an Iranian projectile near Oman during a night transit, according to maritime security sources. The incident marks the 32nd reported attack on shipping since the conflict began and highlights the continued risks facing commercial vessels in the region. Meanwhile, another CMA CGM vessel, the Saigon, successfully exited the Gulf as limited ship movements continue under highly uncertain security conditions and evolving U.S.-Iran negotiations.
