The war has blocked hundreds of vessels and brought roughly 20% of global oil trade to a virtual standstill.<\/p>\n<p>US President <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jpost.com\/international\/article-895240\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Donald Trump<\/a> said on Tuesday he would briefly pause an operation to help escort ships through the Strait of Hormuz, citing &#8220;great progress&#8221; toward a comprehensive agreement with Iran.<\/p>\n<p class=\"article-paragraph-section article-body-paragraph\">CMA CGM said injured crew members from the San Antonio have been evacuated and are being provided with medical care. It declined to comment further on the incident.<\/p>\n<p class=\"article-paragraph-section article-body-paragraph\">The company had reported last month that one of its vessels was the target of warning shots in the strait, although no crew was injured.<\/p>\n<p class=\"article-paragraph-section article-body-paragraph\">The French firm, the world&#8217;s third-largest container shipping line, has indicated that 14 of its vessels were stranded in the Gulf at the start of the US-Israeli war with Iran. One ship, the CMA CGM Kribi, exited the Strait of Hormuz at the start of April.<\/p>\n<p class=\"article-paragraph-section article-body-paragraph\">The Maltese-flagged San Antonio&#8217;s destination is listed as Mundra, India, according to shipping data.<\/p>\n<p>The incident comes after Iran&#8217;s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.jpost.com\/middle-east\/iran-news\/article-895247\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">IRGC<\/a>) targeted the Surdash camp, an Iranian Kurdish area of the Biban region, where families of Iranian Kurdish opponents live, with two drones, the Kurdistan Regional Government Security Directorate stated on Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p class=\"article-paragraph-section article-body-paragraph\">No casualties were reported, according to the security directorate.<\/p>\n<p>Residents in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jpost.com\/opinion\/article-895037\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Iranian<\/a> cities of Bandar Abbas, Qeshm, and Sirik reported hearing explosions around 4 a.m. local time, several hours after the reported explosions in the Biban region.<\/p>\n<p class=\"article-paragraph-section article-body-paragraph\">Provincial authorities later confirmed the sounds were caused by air defenses intercepting drones, according to the Students News Network.<\/p>\n<p class=\"article-paragraph-section article-body-paragraph\">The authorities added that no impact, damage, or explosion had occurred.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"French shipping group CMA CGM said on Wednesday that one of its vessels, the San Antonio, had been&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":776862,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5133],"tags":[5229,8991,156,19176,83,7202,7203,6311,5503,358,3187,67,586,132,5230,68,2969],"class_list":{"0":"post-776861","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-san-antonio","8":"tag-america","9":"tag-attack","10":"tag-france","11":"tag-injury","12":"tag-iran","13":"tag-san-antonio","14":"tag-sanantonio","15":"tag-ship","16":"tag-strait-of-hormuz","17":"tag-texas","18":"tag-tx","19":"tag-united-states","20":"tag-united-states-of-america","21":"tag-unitedstates","22":"tag-unitedstatesofamerica","23":"tag-us","24":"tag-usa"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/116526707329195295","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/776861","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=776861"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/776861\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/776862"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=776861"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=776861"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=776861"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
