Iranian Cargo Vessel Struck in Strait of Hormuz

An Iranian cargo vessel was struck early Sunday off Qeshm Island in the Strait of Hormuz, killing one and wounding four, Iranian state media reported. The attack occurred a day before Tehran planned to brief regional countries on its efforts to manage shipping traffic. The incident follows intensified threats to shipping after Houthi rebels captured an island on the Bab el-Mandeb Strait.
