Security data show that since last Sunday, at least 10 ships have been attacked in or near the Strait of Hormuz, the highest number of attacks in the area since the war against Iran began on February 28, 2026.

Security data shows that since last Sunday, at least 10 ships have been attacked in or near the Strait of Hormuz; This statistic is the highest number of attacks in this region since the start of the war against Iran on February 28, 2026.

According to the selection report, according to the data of the Vanguard security company, the International Maritime Organization and the British Maritime Trade Operations Organization, four ships were attacked on Tuesday and six ships on Sunday. The number of attacks on Sunday was the highest number of attacks recorded in one day since the beginning of the war.

Maritime sources have reported that two sailors are missing, and there have been reports of a container ship sinking following the recent attacks.

Since last March, in response to the US and Israeli attacks on its territory, Iran has started targeting commercial ships passing through this vital passage. Tehran has also continued to attack ships that pass through routes that are not approved by the country.

These attacks have disrupted sea traffic through the Strait of Hormuz; A passage that is usually one of the busiest sea routes for the export of oil and other goods from the Persian Gulf countries.

Since the beginning of this October, 23 attacks have been recorded; A figure that is almost double the monthly average of incidents recorded since the beginning of the war.

America announced on Saturday that it has targeted a cargo ship in the framework of the blockade of Iranian ports. However, the International Maritime Organization has not included this incident among its registered incidents.

According to the statistics of this organization, since the beginning of the war, around 24 sailors have lost their lives in incidents that occurred in the area near the Strait of Hormuz.
