Iran Escalates Maritime Attacks in Strait of Hormuz, Targets Multiple Vessels

Iranian forces, primarily the IRGC, have significantly escalated maritime attacks in the Strait of Hormuz, targeting at least 18 vessels in the first 12 days of October, including a record six in a single day. These actions, which include direct strikes on tankers and warnings to US allies, indicate a deliberate campaign to disrupt oil flows and pressure adversaries. The exact methods of attack and extent of damage remain partially unconfirmed for several incidents.
