A cargo vessel, identified as the CMA CGM San Antonio, was struck by a suspected cruise missile in the Persian Gulf on May 5, injuring several crew members, according to reports. The U.K. Maritime Trade Operations centre confirmed a projectile strike, while U.S. officials assessed it as a likely land-attack missile. The incident adds to a series of maritime threats in the Strait of Hormuz since May 3. Despite rising risks, shipping traffic continues, even as Donald Trump paused “Project Freedom,” raising fresh questions over U.S. control and security in the Gulf.
