Container ship sinks in Strait of Hormuz as Iran steps up attacks

What the coverage shows

All three outlets frame the story around a container ship sinking in or near the Strait of Hormuz alongside a broader rise in Iranian attacks on shipping. CNBC and The Guardian foreground the escalation pattern, while The Independent centers the ship’s reported cargo, the mine claim, and the detail that Iran’s Guards are being cited; only The Guardian says a second cargo vessel was reportedly sinking.
