Another tanker has been struck by a projectile while transiting the Strait of Hormuz, wounding two crew members and intensifying concern over the security of one of the world’s most important energy routes. UK Maritime Trade Operations said military authorities reported the attack on the inbound vessel. Despite the impact, the tanker remained operational and continued towards its next port, with no immediate reports of a major fire, oil spill or critical damage. The incident follows other recent strikes involving unidentified projectiles in and around Hormuz. With roughly one-fifth of the world’s traded oil and gas normally passing through the waterway, even limited attacks can raise shipping-insurance costs, disrupt supply chains and place upward pressure on global fuel prices. Tankers are still moving through the strait—but safe passage can no longer be assumed. #straitofhormuz #tanker #shipping #oil #persiangulf #ukmto #maritimesecurity #energycrisis #middleeast #breakingnews Time
