The hit arrives before the text
Iran's state broadcaster IRIB said an Iranian commercial vessel was struck off Qeshm Island in the Strait of Hormuz late Saturday, with one person killed and four wounded. State-run IRNA quoted the Qeshm governor blaming a "terrorist enemy" and saying the projectile had not been identified; the dead sailor was among a 10-member crew. The United States had not commented. Those casualty figures are not independently verified.[1]
The United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations centre, in a separate warning, said a vessel transiting the strait was hit by an unknown projectile, that a fire broke out and that local authorities were evacuating the crew. It did not name a flag, a cargo, or whether the hull was the one Iran described. CNN reported that about 20 million barrels of oil a day passed through the strait before the war and that traffic remains about 90 per cent below pre-conflict levels.[1]
Monday's table does not sell a lane
Foreign ministry spokesman Esmail Baghaei said Gulf diplomats would meet Iran in Oman on Monday to discuss maritime traffic. Bahrain said it would not attend, and it was unclear which other capitals would sit. President Masoud Pezeshkian said the waterway would open on the condition that the United States ends its blockade. Ebrahim Azizi, who chairs the parliament's national security committee, wrote that dialogue is of no use until the American side accepts all of Iran's conditions.[1]
In this sequence the restricted node is the hit itself, not a tariff schedule. For the owner, the underwriter and the cargo interest the cost shows up as fire, evacuation and dark transit; an Oman table does not unwind that even if it later publishes a text. The signal to watch is a published text on maritime traffic after Monday's meeting in Oman, and whether traffic in the strait stays about 90 per cent below pre-conflict levels. If no text appears, the price stays in the projectile.[1]
