IRGC Forces Strike Two Commercial Vessels in the Strait of Hormuz

Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) forces allegedly targeted two commercial vessels in the Strait of Hormuz overnight on July 7, 2026. A British-flagged tanker and a Qatari LNG vessel were struck by projectiles, suffering significant damage but reporting no casualties. The escalation comes as U.S.-Iran negotiations in Qatar remain deadlocked, threatening to unravel a recent memorandum of understanding on maritime security and prompting warnings of U.S. military retaliation against Iranian naval targets in the region.
