An incident occurred on July 12, 2026, when the Iranian military fired missiles at the Cyprus-flagged container ship GFS Galaxy in the Strait of Hormuz. The attack resulted in a fire onboard the vessel, prompting emergency evacuation procedures. While 23 crew members were successfully rescued and transported to Oman, one Indian sailor remains missing.
The Deputy Minister of Shipping, Marina Hadjimanoli, confirmed the status of the crew, highlighting ongoing communication with the ship's management company to coordinate rescue efforts for the missing seafarer. The incident has escalated tensions in the region, with the U.S. Defense Secretary, Pete Hegseth, labeling the Iranian action a "bad choice" and asserting that Iran would face consequences for this aggression. The Strait of Hormuz has since been reported closed to navigation in response to the incident, raising concerns over maritime security in a critical global shipping lane.
