On the 35th day of the US/Israel-Iran war, the container ship CMA CGM Kribi passed through the Strait of Hormuz, becoming the first ship connected to Western Europe recorded since the start of the conflicts.
As the war between the coalition of the USA and Israel and Iran enters its 35th day, tensions in the region continue. Iran announced that it responded to the US-Israeli bridge attack in Karaj with retaliation and that a plane was shot down. In the USA, it was reported that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth requested the resignation of Chief of Staff General Randy George.
FIRST TIME AFTER 35 DAYS
A significant development occurred in the war closely followed by the whole world in the Strait of Hormuz. According to real-time ship tracking platform MarineTraffic, the Malta-flagged container ship CMA CGM Kribi departed from Ghantoot Port on the coast of the Persian Gulf in the United Arab Emirates and passed through the Strait of Hormuz.
REACHED OMAN GULF
The ship, which updated its destination to "owned by France," reportedly reached the Gulf of Oman after the passage. This passage was recorded as the first Western European-connected ship to use the Strait of Hormuz since the start of the US/Israeli-Iran war.
