A US news website has claimed that Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps fired at least two missiles at commercial vessels passing through the Strait of Hormuz, raising fresh concerns over maritime security in one of the world's busiest shipping routes.

According to the report, the missile attack damaged commercial ships, but no casualties were reported. The claim comes amid heightened tensions in the Gulf, although Iranian authorities have not officially commented on the allegations.

Meanwhile, the UK Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) agency reported that an oil tanker was struck by a projectile about 8 nautical miles east of Limah, Oman. The impact sparked a fire on board the vessel, but all crew members were reported safe, with no environmental damage recorded.

Separately, reports also emerged of an attack on a British commercial ship transiting the Strait of Hormuz. The vessel was reportedly hit by an unidentified projectile at nearly the same location, causing a fire onboard. Authorities said the blaze was brought under control and there were no reports of injuries.

A US official blamed Iran for the attacks, alleging that two missiles were launched at ships moving through the strategic waterway. However, the claims have not been independently verified, and no official response has yet been issued by Tehran.

The Strait of Hormuz is a critical global energy corridor through which a significant share of the world's oil exports passes. Any disruption in the area can quickly affect international shipping, energy markets, and regional security, making the latest claims closely watched by governments and traders worldwide.
