British Navy vessel hit in Strait of Hormuz
The news reports an escalation of tensions in the Strait of Hormuz amid accelerating attacks and military actions. The British Navy announced that a ship was hit by an unidentified projectile while transiting the strait, confirming that damages were limited to the engine room and that the crew is receiving assistance, with no environmental impact recorded so far. For its part, the US Central Command clarified that 64 ships have changed their routes in the strait since sanctions against Iran were imposed. Trump assured that the control over the strait is complete and that it remains open. However, data shows a sharp slowdown in navigation, with Iran threatening to carry out military attacks to break the blockade if diplomatic mediations fail. It was also reported that a South Korean oil tanker is heading to the Suez Canal instead of the strait, amid increasing risks. Meanwhile, the "Kpler" index indicated that recent holidays interrupted the passage of several ships, reducing their movement. All this reflects rising tensions and escalating risks that threaten global oil shipping stability and energy supplies, amidst warnings against the use of force and reaffirmations of US control over the strait.
