Greece confirms its cargo ship was attacked in Hormuz

 Greek Minister of Foreign Affairs Giorgos Gerapetritis (pictured) told CNN on Wednesday that a Greek-owned cargo ship was attacked near the Strait of Hormuz, adding that it is "unclear" if it was seized by the Iranian forces.

"It was a Liberian-flagged and Greek-owned ship, it was trying to get out of the Strait of Hormuz," Gerapetritis said. "We have sent an overall notice to all Greek-owned ships to be very mindful, to exercise maximum self-restraint and to avoid crossing the strait," he added.

The United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) previously announced that three ships were attacked in the Strait of Hormuz, with one of them being the Greek-flagged Epaminondas, which sustained "heavy damage" to the bridge. Meanwhile, Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Navy forces reported enforcing "maritime law" on a container ship after the vessel allegedly "ignored repeated warning."
