British military authorities reported a cargo ship was set ablaze after being hit by an unknown projectile in the Strait of Hormuz. The incident occurred as Iran continues to lay mines and deploy naval assets in the strategic waterway. The US Navy escorted an oil tanker through the strait earlier this week in what was the first such operation since the war began, to ensure oil flow to global markets. France announced it was preparing a multinational mission to reopen the strait.
