Tanker attacks escalate in Strait of Hormuz; UKMTO points to Iran's IRGC
El NacionalLO·IR · GB·2 days ago
Attacks and harassment on tankers in the Strait of Hormuz reached their highest weekly count since the start of the Iran war, per maritime security sources. The US Navy-led JMIC notes persistent Iranian Revolutionary Guards activity, including drone overflights and VHF hails, amid increased Gulf export push. This escalation raises shipping risk and insurance costs, potentially affecting oil flows through the strait.
