Strait of Hormuz: iPhone boxes float at sea after cargo ship sinks

Videos filmed in the Strait of Hormuz off Oman show iPhone boxes and perfume cases floating after the container ship GFS Pride sank on October 14, 2026. The ship, sailing under the Singapore flag, had all 21 crew members evacuated without injuries. Iran’s Revolutionary Guards say it struck a mine, while Singapore and maritime sources say an unidentified projectile hit it on October 13 and caused a fire. The sinking is part of a series of ship losses near the strait, which carried about a fifth of the world’s traded oil and liquefied natural gas before the war.
