Strait attack unacceptableThe adverse impact of the war between Iran, the United States and Israel has spilt over to other nations beyond the Middle East, as Tehran ramps up its attacks on cargo ships in the Strait of Hormuz. Shortly after, Iran's Revolutionary Guards officially took responsibility for the attack, stating the ships "ignored warnings" and tried to move through the Strait of Hormuz "illegally". Meanwhile, the Thai government must find out why the Mayuree Naree was in the Strait of Hormuz, despite plenty of early warnings. What happened to the Mayuree Naree was unacceptable. The damage is not just physical and economic -- the attack also harmed the good ties between the two nations' peoples.
