Iran strikes vessel in Strait of Hormuz amid debate over "transit fees"
Iran's Revolutionary Guards struck a cargo vessel in the Strait of Hormuz, causing bridge damage but no injuries. The incident coincided with ongoing discussions between the United States, Oman, and Iran over whether transit fees will be imposed on ships passing the strait. Meanwhile, oil prices hovered near $75 a barrel and U.N. officials called for stronger nuclear verification in Iran as diplomatic talks continue.
