Iran’s paramilitary Revolutionary Guard opened fire Wednesday (April 22, 2026) on a container ship in the Strait of Hormuz, damaging the ship and further raising the stakes as planned ceasefire talks in Pakistan failed to materialise.

The British military’s United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) centre said the attack happened around 7:55 a.m. in the strait and targeted a container ship.
