Three cargo ships were struck by suspected projectiles off the coast of Iran on Wednesday morning, according to the UKMTO.

The incidents mark the latest in a string of reported attacks in or near to the Strait of Hormuz since the U.S. and Israel launched airstrikes on Iran on Feb. 28.

Iran has retaliated by targeting ships trying to pass through the strategically vital waterway.
