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.

Iran says it has closed the Strait of Hormuz as U.S. reports strikes on suspected minelayers amid rising shipping attacks

Iran has claimed the Strait of Hormuz is closed after a surge of attacks on commercial vessels since late February, while the U.S. military says it destroyed Iranian mine-laying boats near the vital oil chokepoint—an escalation that has heightened fears of prolonged disruption to energy and trade flows.

In a further escalation of the ongoing conflict, Israel's air force struck Revolutionary Guard Corps sites in Tehran and Isfahan on March 12, following initial US-Israeli attacks earlier in the month. Iran retaliated with missiles and drones targeting Israel, US bases, and Gulf states, while attacks on shipping in the Strait of Hormuz—through which 20% of global oil passes—have raised fears of a major energy crisis.

Four days after initial US and Israeli strikes on Iran sparked regional escalation on February 28, the conflict intensified with Israel destroying Iran's state television headquarters in Tehran, Iranian missile and drone attacks on US and Israeli targets, and the threatened closure of the Strait of Hormuz.

Following Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi's declaration that the Strait of Hormuz is 'completely open,' Indian-flagged vessels carrying crude oil vital to India's energy needs have begun exiting the Persian Gulf. This marks a further easing after earlier selective transits by ships without U.S. or Israeli links amid the ongoing conflict.

Around 130 container vessels linked to the Philippines remain trapped in the Strait of Hormuz due to the ongoing Middle East conflict and effective blockade, straining exports and goods flow, a shipping executive told a Senate panel on April 8. This follows recent diplomatic assurances from Iran for Philippine ships.

Three Chinese vessels transited the Strait of Hormuz following coordination with relevant parties, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning said on Tuesday. She expressed appreciation for the assistance and called for a ceasefire in the Gulf region as soon as possible. PetroChina stated operations remain stable despite impacts from Middle East tensions.

Iran said Friday that commercial vessels can again transit the Strait of Hormuz under routes coordinated with Iranian authorities for the duration of a ceasefire, a claim echoed by U.S. President Donald Trump. But shipping risks — including concerns over sea mines and unclear security conditions — have kept many operators cautious, even as the United States maintains a blockade on traffic to and from Iranian ports.
