09:13 AM EDT, 04/22/2026 (MT Newswires) -- Iranian forces fired on a vessel owned by Mediterranean Shipping in the Strait of Hormuz as it waited to cross into the Gulf of Oman, The Wall Street Journal reported Wednesday, citing people familiar with the matter.

The attack occurred mere hours after two other ships were fired on by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and came after President Donald Trump said the US would extend its ceasefire with Iran, the report said.
