A ship that didn’t pay irans straight of Hormuz toll, has been hit by a missile, is on fire, and sinking to the bottom of the ocean

A tanker travelling off the coast of Oman in the Strait of Hormuz caught on fire after it was struck by an “unknown projectile”, the UK military said on Tuesday.

The attack happened early on Tuesday near Limah, Oman, in the strait, marking the latest vessel to be targeted in the Strait of Hormuz, a critical waterway through which a fifth of the world’s oil and natural gas passed before the US-Israel war on Iran began in late February.

The United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations centre said a projectile hit the port side of the vessel while trying to traveling south out of the strait toward the Gulf of Oman.

It said there was no environmental impact from the strike and that authorities were investigating.
