Iranian media: Attack injures 3, kills 1 near Qeshm
An attack on an Iranian commercial vessel in the Strait of Hormuz resulted in one person killed and three others injured, amid concerns of escalating tensions in the region. The UK Maritime Trade Operations confirmed the incident, which caused oil prices to rise above $100 per barrel, as tensions between Iran and the United States over control of the strait escalate. Iran has rejected dialogue with Washington and demands recognition of its control over the strait in exchange for terms the United States refuse, while Gulf and Omani countries are preparing to discuss the future of ship transits in the area.
