An Iranian commercial vessel was struck early Sunday off Qeshm Island in the Strait of Hormuz, Iranian state media said. One person was killed and four were wounded, according to the state media report.
The Qeshm governor, quoted by state media, blamed a 'terrorist enemy.' He said the person killed was among the cargo vessel's 10-member crew. Authorities had not yet identified the projectile, he said.
Separately, the United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations monitor reported that a vessel was hit by a projectile while transiting the strait. It gave no details.
The incident occurred a day before Tehran seeks to brief regional countries on its contested efforts to manage shipping traffic there, according to the state media report.
There was no immediate statement by the U.S. military, which the source says has previously struck Iranian-flagged vessels.
