The incident, which ​CMA CGM said occurred on Tuesday, is the latest ​disruption in the crucial shipping route during the ⁠Middle East conflict.

The war has blocked hundreds of vessels ​and brought roughly 20% of global oil trade to ​a virtual standstill.

US President Donald Trump said on Tuesday he would briefly pause an operation to help escort ships through the Strait of ​Hormuz, citing “great progress” toward a comprehensive agreement with Iran.

CMA ​CGM said injured crew members from the San Antonio have been evacuated ‌and ⁠are being provided with medical care. It declined to comment further on the incident.

CMA CGM had reported last month that one of its vessels was the target of warning ​shots in the ​strait, although ⁠no crew members were injured.

The French firm, the world’s third-largest container shipping line, has indicated ​that 14 of its vessels were stranded ​in the ⁠Gulf at the start of the US-Israeli war with Iran.

One ship, the CMA CGM Kribi, exited the Strait of ⁠Hormuz ​at the start of April.

The Maltese-flagged ​San Antonio’s destination is marked as Mundra in India, according to shipping data.
