Tensions are escalating around the Strait of Hormuz following a reported oil tanker explosion and a US military strike on a commercial cargo vessel in the Gulf of Oman. Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), as reported by Iranian state media, said the tanker caught fire after striking a naval mine. Separately, US Central Command (CENTCOM) said American forces disabled a Panama-flagged cargo ship on October 10 after its crew allegedly ignored repeated warnings and attempted to breach the naval blockade against Iran. The incidents raise concerns over regional security and global oil supplies. #StraitOfHormuz #Iran #USA #USIranTensions #OilTanker #CENTCOM #IRGC #GulfOfOman #MiddleEastCrisis #BreakingNews #WorldNews #OilPrices #MaritimeSecurity #UAE #GlobalEnergy ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- News that speaks your language – Oneindia App is now live | Click on the below link to download https://
