Persian Gulf shipping under attack as US-Iran war spreads to commercial tankers

Force in Play

Owner of the attacked vessel

Two weeks into the US-Iran war, the Strait of Hormuz remains a combat zone with near-zero commercial transits despite a successful US Navy escort of an oil tanker on March 10. The US destroyed 16 Iranian mine-laying vessels that day to prevent strait blockages, but Iranian forces struck three more cargo ships in and near the strait, bringing UKMTO-reported incidents to 17 since February 28.
