Strait of Hormuz tensions escalate after an explosion was reported near a commercial tanker off the coast of Oman. UK Maritime Trade Operations said the vessel's master heard a blast close to the ship, although the tanker and its crew remained safe. Iran's state-run IRNA later published an unverified image claiming to show a tanker on fire in the same area. The incident comes as shipping traffic through the Strait of Hormuz slows amid heightened regional tensions, Houthi threats, and competing U.S. and Iranian claims over maritime security and freedom of navigation in one of the world's busiest energy corridors. #StraitOfHormuz #Oman #Iran #Tanker #Shipping #MiddleEast #BreakingNews #MaritimeSecurity #UKMTO #Hormuz #PersianGulf #Houthi #WorldNews #OilTanker #Geopolitics Times Of India (TOI) Is The Largest Selling English Daily In The World.
