Iran Attacks Ship Near Oman

The Liberia-flagged vessel, Epaminondas, was targeted without warning by Iran's Revolutionary Guard, according to maritime security reports.

While the crew is reported to be safe, the incident has sharply escalated regional tensions and complicated Pakistan's efforts to mediate a settlement.

Iran claims the ship ignored repeated warnings, a charge denied by international monitoring agencies.

The strike underscores the continued volatility of the world's most critical oil transit route despite the existing ceasefire.
