Two sailors are missing after an attack on the El Gaia, and two crew members were injured aboard La Stephanie. The strait has been effectively closed since the war began, with commercial crossings falling from around 125 ships a day to 17 over the weekend.
An unknown projectile struck the Panama-flagged El Gaia, damaging its engine room and starting a fire. Iran's foreign minister said only negotiations could end the conflict, but warned of a stronger response to any further military action.
The attack near Qeshm Island wounded four others, and Trump declined to say whether the US was responsible. A planned meeting in Oman on maritime traffic through the strait was postponed the same day, as shipping through the waterway remains roughly 90% below pre-conflict levels.
