Why is Iran targeting a Qatari intermediary's oil tanker?
Iran is once again targeting vessels passing through the Strait of Hormuz, claiming they have violated the memorandum of understanding signed with it. This time, the attacks focused on a Qatari oil tanker positioned between Tehran and Washington. Qatar expressed its strong disapproval of the operation, holding Iran legally responsible for it. Meanwhile, a Gulf official described the escalation as a threat to the security of the region. Iran considers these violations a response to the United States' breach of Article V of the memorandum of understanding. However, experts emphasize that the legal status of the strait remains governed by international law, and targeting a Qatari tanker reflects internal tensions within Iran.
