Cargo ships are seen at sea near the Strait of Hormuz (Fatima Shbair/AP)A cargo ship has reported being hit by a projectile off the coast of Oman in the Strait of Hormuz while the United States and Iran made opposing claims about whether they are holding talks. The cargo ship reported being “hit by an unknown projectile” at 2 am local time while it was 23 miles north east of Al Khasab in Oman, the United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations Center said. The UKMTO did not provide further information on the ship, including what flag the vessel was sailing under or whether it was carrying cargo.
