Approximately an hour later, the situation began to deescalate when the merchant vessel confirmed the fast-attack craft departed the scene. The merchant ship continued transiting through the Strait of Hormuz without further incident.

A TritonDef Story:

Both the US Navy and the UK Royal Navy have responded to a distress call from a merchant vessel transiting the Strait of Hormuz on Sunday 4th June 2023, with IRGC terrorist's fast-attack boats harassing the merchant ship.

Both the U.S. Navy guided-missile destroyer USS McFaul and the Royal Navy frigate HMS Lancaster had received this distress call. The US 5th Fleet directed a P-8A Poseidon to monitor the scene, whilst HMS Lancaster launched a Wildcat helicopter to provide surveillance as well.
