On Saturday, a tanker was hit by a projectile in the Strait of Hormuz, resulting in damage to its bridge, although all crew members were confirmed safe, as reported by the UKMTO of Britain. This incident follows a cargo ship attack that occurred on Thursday and marks the most significant escalation between the US and Iran since the signing of a temporary peace agreement two weeks prior. Additionally, Bahrain reported an Iranian drone strike, with accusations of ceasefire violations exchanged between Washington and Tehran. This resurgence of violence jeopardizes ongoing efforts to ensure secure two-way shipping in this crucial energy corridor.
