Two cargo ships were attacked in the Strait of Hormuz, a crucial maritime corridor connecting the Persian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman, after the U.S. extended the ceasefire with Iran, allowing for Iran's leaders to submit a "unanimous proposal" to end the war. The incident occurred about eight nautical miles off the coast of Iran and follows reports of high levels of activity in the area. The crew of the two ships were reported safe and uninjured.
