The Globe and Mail reports in its Monday edition that on Sunday an Iranian cargo vessel was hit off Qeshm Island in the Strait of Hormuz. An Associated Press dispatch to The Globe reports that Iran also postponed plans to brief neighbouring countries on its shipping management efforts in the strait. Threats to shipping in the region intensified last week when Iran-backed Houthi rebels captured an island on the Bab el-Mandeb Strait in the Red Sea. Hours before the attack, Iran's government remained defiant, saying: "It can't be bullied into submission. Iran won't surrender." U.S. President Donald Trump disagreed, saying on Sunday that Iran "wants to make a deal so bad" that "they're calling constantly." Later, when asked by a reporter whether the United States struck the Iranian cargo vessel early Sunday in the Strait of Hormuz, Mr. Trump said, "I don't want to say." He then boarded Air Force One to head back to Washington. Iran had said foreign ministers from regional countries would meet Monday in Oman to discuss efforts by Iran and Oman to manage shipping on it. But the Foreign Minister of Oman, Badr Albusaidi, said on X late Sunday that the meeting had been postponed "in the interests of consensus."
