Tensions are escalating in the Strait of Hormuz as an UAE-owned oil tanker is reportedly struck by Iranian anti-ship ballistic missiles while transiting the southern Omani corridor under U.S. escort. The vessel is reportedly drifting and leaking oil, raising fresh concerns over commercial shipping and global energy supplies. The reported strike comes just hours after Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian met UAE Crown Prince Sheikh Khaled bin Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan in New Delhi during the BRICS summit, where both sides discussed regional stability and reducing tensions. The timing is fueling questions over whether the incident could mark a broader escalation around one of the world's most critical energy corridors. However, the exact damage, casualties and circumstances surrounding the reported attack remain subject to confirmation. #Iran #UAE #StraitOfHormuz #IranAttack #UAETanker #OilTanker #IranMissiles #IranUAE #HormuzCrisis #OilTankerAttack #USNavy #USEscort #IranWar #GulfT
