Container Ship Runs Aground in Strait of Hormuz

A container ship ran aground in the Strait of Hormuz after leaving the shipping lane that Iranian authorities approve. The vessel had moved north of the route south of Larak Island. Iranian officials have issued repeated warnings directing ships to stay within that corridor.

The grounding occurred after the ship wandered outside the designated lane. No information on cargo, crew status, or any rescue operations has been released. The location places the vessel in an area Iranian authorities have flagged for compliance. Further developments regarding the ship's status or any response measures have not been reported.
