Iranian state media reported that one crew member was killed and four others were injured after an Iranian commercial container ship was hit by an unidentified projectile early Sunday, September 13, 2026, near Hengam Island off Qeshm Island in the Strait of Hormuz. Qeshm Governor Hossein Amir-Teymouri said the vessel had 10 crew members aboard and that an investigation was under way; the fatality was identified as Jamshid Rajabi.
Responsibility for the strike had not been established in those reports. Separately, the United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations said a vessel transiting the strait was hit by an unknown projectile, causing a fire and prompting a crew evacuation, though it was not confirmed whether that alert referred to the same ship.
