Fragtskibe ramt af projektiler i Hormuzstrædet under igangværende Iran-konflikt

I den eskalerende Israel-Iran-krig, der startede med amerikanske og israelske angreb den 28. februar 2026, blev flere fragtskibe ramt af ukendte projektiler i Hormuzstrædet den 10. marts. UKMTO rapporterede evakuering af besætninger med alle i sikkerhed, midt i droneangreb og iranske trusler om gengældelse.

Hændelserne i Hormuzstrædet understreger konfliktens intensivering mere end 10 dage ind i krigen. En UKMTO-meddelelse beskrev et fragtskib nord for Oman ramt af et projektil, der satte ild til skibet og tvang besætningen til evakuering. Et bulklasterskib ud for Dubai og et containerskib ved strædets indgang blev også ramt, selvom besætningerne forblev i sikkerhed. Disse angreb følger et israelsk luftangreb på en bankfilial i Teheran, der dræbte flere ansatte, hvilket fik Irans militær til at true med gengældelse og opfordre civile til at undgå banker. Irans Chatam Al-Anbija hovedkvarter advarede: «Amerikanerne bør vente på vores modforanstaltning og vores smertefulde svar.» Separat ramte to iranske droner nær Dubai lufthavn og sårede fire udlændinge (to ghanere, en bangladesher, en inder); flyvninger fortsatte uden afbrydelse. Iran-forbundne tankere passerede strædet, hvor nogle deaktiverede AIS-transpondere. Iran genoptog olieeksport fra Jask-terminalen, med en tanker der indlæssede to millioner tønder den 7. marts. Regionale reaktioner inkluderede Qatar der afviste mediation midt i angrebene, ifølge statsminister Mohammed bin Saleh al-Khulaifi. Saudi-Arabien skød syv ballistiske missiler og syv droner ned, Kuwait afværgede fire droner, og luftalarmer lød i Bahrain. Irans nye leder, Mojtaba Khamenei, har været tavs siden hans far Ali Khameneis død den 28. februar.
