News Wrap: Iran says cargo ship sank after hitting a mine in Strait of Hormuz

An Iranian cargo ship has sunk in the Strait of Hormuz. Iranian authorities state that the vessel went down after striking a mine.

However, conflicting accounts have emerged regarding the cause of the incident. A United Kingdom maritime agency reported that a Singaporean-flagged ship was struck by a projectile and subsequently sank, leaving it unclear whether the Iranian and British accounts refer to the exact same vessel.
