UKMTO data shows 11 merchant vessels attacked in the Strait of Hormuz and adjacent waters since October 1, indicating a sharp escalation in maritime attacks. The attacks likely stem from ongoing regional tensions, possibly involving Iran-aligned forces, though attribution is not specified. This threatens critical oil transit chokepoint, raising shipping and energy security risks.
