Maritime Authority Reports Tanker Attack in Hormuz
An oil tanker in the Strait of Hormuz was targeted early Tuesday morning by an unidentified projectile, according to the UK Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO). The vessel did not sustain any damage or environmental impact. Authorities are continuing to investigate the incident amidst escalating tensions in the region regarding the use of waterway routes and Iran's control over the strait, which it considers to be under its sovereignty. Iran opposes passage of ships through the Omani route, which is considered safer for tankers given the presence of American forces.
