British media reports that shipping through the Strait of Hormuz has stalled once again.

According to the British shipping media "Lloyd's List", shipping in the Strait of Hormuz came to a halt again on the evening of the 18th. Prior to this, radio communication warnings stated that Iranian armed forces had resumed "strict management and control" of the strait. Several ships in the area heard the warning and it has been confirmed. On the same day, the British maritime security company Pioneer Technology released a report revealing details of attacks on three ships in the waters near the Strait of Hormuz, involving one oil tanker, one cruise ship, and one container ship. Two of the ships were clearly warned and fired upon by the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard, while the other container ship was hit by unidentified projectiles 25 nautical miles northeast of Oman, damaging some containers.
