A "unknown projectile" struck a tanker off the coast of Oman: UKMTO
As the US and Iran fight for control of the Strait of Hormuz, a British marine agency reported on Saturday, August 1, 2026, that a "unknown projectile" struck a ship off the coast of Oman.
According to the UK Maritime Trade Operations agency, the ship reported that it was "struck by an unknown projectile which has caused damage to the engine room."
The incident happened 12.5 miles off the shore of Lima, Oman, and no injuries were reported, according to the agency.
Since the start of the conflict on February 28, Iran has effectively maintained control over navigation through Hormuz by demanding ships to acquire authorization and pay transit fees before utilizing the strait.
They do lie: Trump claims that as nuclear negotiations continue, he is "losing faith" in Iran.
President Donald Trump of the United States declared that he was "losing faith" in Tehran, claiming that despite ongoing bilateral talks between the two countries, Iranian authorities habitually break agreements.
Speaking during a televised Cabinet meeting at Camp David, Mr. Trump claimed that Iran's repeated violations of its commitments undermined its credibility.
Mr. Trump declared, "They do lie, and they do misrepresent." "They frequently break their word, but they always want to talk."
The U.S. President acknowledged that senior U.S. officials continue to have active channels of communication with Iranian colleagues despite his scathing criticism. He named Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Vice President JD Vance, Senior Advisor Jared Kushner, and Special Envoy Steve Witkoff as important members of the negotiating team.Mr. Trump remarked, "We have great people talking."
Amid reports that Washington and Tel Aviv may be organizing new military operations against the Islamic Republic, Iran has warned that it is fully prepared to target important Israeli infrastructure and U.S. energy installations throughout the region if it comes under attack. This is a sort of madness.
According to a senior Iranian security source who spoke to Tasnim News Agency, Western media reports about potential strikes on Iranian infrastructure were "a kind of madness."
According to Tasnim, the official claimed that Tehran has developed all-encompassing retaliatory plans that include attacks on vital Israeli installations and American energy assets in West Asia, and that Iran is well prepared to carry out these actions if provoked.
