MOSCOW, October 5. /TASS/. Fourteen commercial vessels were attacked in the Strait of Hormuz in September, according to TASS calculations.

Thus, September, along with July, ranks second in terms of such attacks after March, when there were 20 such incidents.

As a result of the September attacks in the Strait of Hormuz, three seafarers died, two were injured, and two more went missing, TASS learned from the statistics of the International Maritime Organization.

The United States and Israel launched a war against Iran on February 28. In June, Washington and Tehran signed a memorandum of understanding envisaging an immediate ceasefire on all fronts, including in Lebanon. However, the United States resumed large-scale attacks on Iran overnight to July 8, having accused it of breaching the existing agreements in what concerned the Strait of Hormuz.
