British maritime agency reports oil tanker hit off Oman
A British maritime agency has reported that a tanker was hit by an unidentified projectile off the coast of Oman, causing damage to the engine room but no injuries. The incident occurred approximately 12.5 nautical miles from the coast of Oman, amidst deteriorating maritime traffic through the Strait of Hormuz due to escalating tensions between the United States and Iran. Iran has closed the strait since the start of the conflict in February 2026 and continues to threaten to use alternative routes or target vessels attempting to pass through. The situation is heading toward increased tension and disruption of strategic shipping in the region, as Iran escalates its control over the strait and issues threats against any vessels that violate its restrictions.
