The ship&#8217;s bridge was damaged, but no casualties or environmental impact were reported, according to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ukmto.org\/-\/media\/ukmto\/products\/20260625-ukmto_warning_attack-074-26.pdf?rev=c29ac3f0344c40dd9d6ad32e6a3dbb0f\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">U.K. Maritime Trade Operations Centre<\/a>, which said the vessel was off the cost of Oman.<\/p>\n<p>President Trump <a href=\"https:\/\/truthsocial.com\/@realDonaldTrump\/posts\/116817203281419093\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">called the attack<\/a> a &#8220;foolish violation&#8221; of the U.S.-Iran ceasefire, which was extended for 60 days in a memorandum of understanding between the two countries last week. Asked by reporters Friday if Iran would face any consequences, Mr. Trump <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/live-updates\/us-iran-war-israel-hezbollah-strait-of-hormuz-peace-deal-talks\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">responded<\/a><\/span>: &#8220;You&#8217;ll find out.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The Iranian drone attack \u2014 and the U.S. response \u2014 could mark a setback to the Trump administrations&#8217; efforts to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, which was closed to most shipping traffic for months. Shortly after the vessel was struck, the United Nations&#8217; International Maritime Organization <a href=\"https:\/\/www.imo.org\/en\/mediacentre\/pressbriefings\/pages\/statement-on-the-attack-in-strait-of-hormuz-evacuation-plan-pause.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">paused<\/a> an effort to evacuate hundreds of ships and thousands of mariners who were stranded in the Persian Gulf. The organization said the ship &#8220;did not transit under IMO&#8217;s evacuation framework.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The U.S.-Iran memorandum of understanding <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/us-iran-deal-memorandum-of-understanding-text\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">says<\/a><\/span> Iran must arrange for safe, toll-free passage through the Strait of Hormuz &#8220;using its best efforts&#8221; for 60 days. In the week after Mr. Trump signed the deal, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.marinetraffic.com\/en\/maritime-news\/34\/risk-and%20compliance\/2026\/13035\/strait-of-hormuz-daily-maritime-risk-and-transit-monitor-jun\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">number of ships<\/a> that sailed through the strait every day surged, while oil prices plummeted to near pre-war levels.<\/p>\n<p>Still, disagreements over the strait have lingered. The U.S. favors a route through the southern portion of the Strait of Hormuz, hugging the coastline of Oman, while Iran has said ships still need to seek its permission and use a northern route closer to the Iranian coast. Iran also hasn&#8217;t ruled out collecting tolls on commercial ships after the 60-day period ends, an idea the U.S. and its allies in the region have called unacceptable.<\/p>\n<p>Iran&#8217;s Persian Strait Gulf Authority said Thursday: &#8220;Any passage through routes outside the framework designated by PGSA will not be covered by safe passage guarantees and will not be entitled to insurance coverage or related liabilities.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s also not clear what impact the renewed U.S. strikes on Iran will have on talks between the two countries, which are set to negotiate over Iran&#8217;s nuclear program for the next two months. The two sides first struck a ceasefire in early April, and while that arrangement was repeatedly tested by tit-for-tat strikes, U.S. forces did not reopen the large-scale bombing campaign against Iran that ran for more than a month.<\/p>\n<section class=\"content__body--footer\">\n<\/section>\n<p>  <!-- data-recirc-source=\"queryly\" --><\/p>\n<aside class=\"component list recirculation
