Event details
Arab News, carrying Reuters and AFP, reported that Sirik's governor said a locally owned Iranian cargo barge carrying essential goods from Khasab, Oman was hit by a U.S. projectile about five nautical miles off Khasab. The report said all five crew members were rescued by passing vessels and taken to Oman.
Context
This narrows the Hormuz-edge blast lane from sound reports to a specific Iranian allegation about a small cargo vessel. Watch for CENTCOM, UKMTO, Oman, India, AIS, or owner confirmation before treating it as settled.
