巴拿马籍油轮"埃尔盖亚"号在霍尔木兹海峡穆桑达姆半岛北部1.3海里处遭攻击，导致2名船员失踪，23人获救1。关于此次事件的原因，伊朗伊斯兰革命卫队称油轮触发了水雷而起火，但美国军方坚持认为其遭伊朗导弹和无人机打击1。这是本月内第二起在该海峡发生的类似事件，此前本月早些时候沙特油轮"西德"号事件中有2名菲律宾船员丧生1。
自2月底以来，霍尔木兹海峡及中东地区已确认发生79起事件，导致至少22名海员丧生1。霍尔木兹海峡通常承载全球五分之一的石油和天然气运输1。美国和伊朗曾在6月达成初步协议，但这一协议在数周内因伊朗恢复攻击而告崩溃1。
A Panama-flagged tanker named El Gaia came under attack in the Strait of Hormuz, resulting in two crew members going missing while 23 others were rescued 1. The incident occurred near the northern part of the Musandam Peninsula, approximately 1.3 nautical miles offshore 1.
Accounts of the attack differ significantly between key parties. Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps claimed the tanker struck a naval mine that caused a fire 1, while the United States military maintained the vessel was struck by Iranian missiles last month and by unmanned drones over the weekend 1. This marks the second major incident in the waterway this month, following an earlier attack on the Saudi-flagged tanker Sidon in which two Filipino sailors were killed 1.
The incident underscores the escalating security crisis in one of the world's most critical energy chokepoints. Since late February, when hostilities between the United States and Iran intensified, at least 22 sailors have been killed across 79 confirmed incidents in the Strait of Hormuz and surrounding Middle Eastern waters 1. The Strait typically handles approximately one-fifth of global oil and natural gas shipments 1. A preliminary agreement reached between the United States and Iran in June collapsed within weeks as Iranian attacks resumed 1.
