According to CNBC, a oil tanker in the Strait of Hormuz was attacked by a mortar on Saturday, the latest escalation in the recent tension between the United States and Iran. Prior to this, the two sides had reached a temporary agreement aimed at ending hostilities in the region. The UK Maritime Trade Operations Center reported that a vessel in the strait was hit by "unidentified flying objects," causing damage to the ship but reportedly leaving the crew unharmed. Bahrain also condemned Iran's drone attack on Saturday, calling it a "blatant violation" of its sovereignty. These new attacks come at a time when the United States and Iran should have been in a 60-day ceasefire negotiations to discuss ending the war. However, both countries have accused each other of violating the terms of the agreement.
