Strait of Hormuz 'deathbed' in Iran-US war. One by one ships are being destroyed by constant attacks and mines laid. Recently, a cargo ship sank in Hormuz due to such a mine explosion. Then there are expensive iPhones and luxury perfume bottles floating in the sea. It is learned that the equipment was loaded on the ship.
Recently a video has gone viral on social media (although the authenticity of the video has not been verified by Sanbad Pratidin). There, numerous perfume bottles and iPhone cases were seen floating in the water near the sunken cargo ship. Not only that, but they have practically fallen into disrepair. Many people risk their lives in small boats to collect them in the sea.

It was initially reported that the Singaporean flag ship 'GFS Pride' had departed from Dubai with cargo. The missile hit the ship as it reached Hormuz on Wednesday. Then it caught fire. At one point, the ship was buried in the sea. The merchantman had a 'crew' of 21. They have been evacuated safely. According to sources, the ship had around 2,500 containers including luxury perfumes and iPhones.
