At least 2 ships attacked in Strait of Hormuz after Trump announces indefinite extension of Iran ceasefire

Key Points:

• Two ships, a cargo ship and a container ship, were attacked in the Strait of Hormuz, with one sustaining heavy damage to its bridge but all crew reported safe, according to the British military.
• The Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) confirmed intercepting and escorting the two vessels to the Iranian coast, accusing them of entering without authorization and tampering with navigation systems.
• Both ships reportedly attempted to transit the strait with their Automatic Identification Systems turned off, a move the IRGC described as a violation of the strait's safety and order.
• These incidents follow a recent extension of a fragile ceasefire between the U.S. and Iran, with President Trump citing a request from Pakistan to allow more time for peace talks, while Iranian officials dismissed the extension as ineffective.
• The attacks occurred amid heightened tensions after the U.S. seized an Iranian container ship and boarded an oil tanker linked to Iran's oil trade in recent days.
