Commercial Tanker Struck in Strategic Waterway Amid Iran Tensions
A commercial tanker was struck by an unidentified projectile in the strategic waterway near the Strait of Hormuz early Saturday morning. This incident occurred shortly after Kuwait reported a new round of Iranian drone incursions. The attack follows the collapse of previous maritime security agreements and a reinstated U.S. naval blockade. Global energy markets reacted sharply, with shipping companies reportedly loitering or rerouting vessels to avoid the volatile transit zone.
