A container ship sank in the Strait of Hormuz on Wednesday as Iran escalated its attacks on commercial vessels.

The GFS Pride, registered in Singapore, sank after it was struck by an unidentified projectile and caught fire. The ship’s 21 crew members were safely evacuated and no injuries were reported, according to the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore.

“Such attacks are unprovoked, unjustifiable and a breach of international law,” the Singapore maritime authority said in a statement Wednesday.

Iran’s Revolutionary Guard claimed early Wednesday that a container ship exploded and sank after hitting a naval mine, according to the state news agency Tasnim. But there is no independent evidence to confirm that a mine is what caused the Pride to sink, according to the maritime security firm Marisks.

Iran’s claims are “consistent with an ongoing psychological operations campaign aimed at generating fear, increasing uncertainty and discouraging commercial shipping” in Hormuz, Marisks said in a security alert.

Thats the 5th one attacked this week. 24 attacked this month. Its costing the US tax payer around 30-40 million per day to keep these escort missions through the SoH going and Iran is still doing damage.

And yet the UN STILL does nothing. Nor do the democrats. Everyone just wants to blame Trump for everything.

Surely a couple of these will be arriving off the Iranian coast shortly.

Imagine being dependent on Singapore to defend your policies with its military.

The President has been very clear that we don't need any help and that the Strait is completely open and safe, what else is needed?

I won't try to address your irrelevant deflection, but this site could use a good @retardfinder. And a mute feature. And a minimum age requirement.

Iran doesn’t own the SOH so why exactly is this the US’s fault? This was, allegedly, done by Iran.
