Iranian and Omani teams have reached the Thai-flagged vessel Mayuree Naree, hit by an Iranian projectile earlier this month near the Strait of Hormuz, Foreign Minister Sihasak Phuangketkeow said yesterday.

Further information is being verified, and it is hoped that three missing crew are safe, he added.

Meanwhile, Iran has agreed to Thailand’s request to allow two Thai vessels, one belonging to Bangchak and another to SCG Chemicals, to transit the strait.
