U.S. Military Blames Boxship Operator for Security Breach in Iranian Missile Strike
The U.S. military has attributed the responsibility for a security breach to the operator of the boxship CMA CGM San Antonio, which was struck by a cruise missile while transiting the Strait of Hormuz. The incident resulted in injuries to eight crewmembers, marking the largest number of seafarer injuries in a single event since the conflict began earlier this year. The U.S. military claims the vessel did not adhere to Project Freedom's guidelines, which were designed to protect ships from Iranian attacks. However, CMA CGM, the world's third-largest ocean carrier, contends that it was fully coordinating with U.S. forces. The attack has raised concerns among shipping companies about the reliability of U.S. military protection in the region.
