Meanwhile, US President Donald Trump has announced the extension of the ceasefire, and Iran has attacked at least two container ships in the Strait of Hormuz. One ship was damaged in the shooting. The UK military's United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) reported that Iran's paramilitary force, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), attacked the first ship in this vital oil trade sea route at around 7: 55 a.m. According to ID3, the Iranian gunboat did not give the ship any warning before opening fire. Fortunately, no one was injured in the incident or harmed the environment. According to British maritime security firm Vanguard Tech, the ship was passing with a Liberian flag and "was told it had permission to cross the Hormuz." But the Iranian news agency Tasnim said the ship "ignored warnings and fired at the second cargo ship" in the waters.
