This report from Abu Ali Express, citing OSINT sources, adds specific vessel names to the ongoing maritime security crisis in the Strait of Hormuz.

Earlier today, journalist Amichai Stein reported that Iran fired five missiles and drones at three ships in the Omani waters over the past 24 hours, with a US response reportedly under consideration. The current report identifies three of the five tankers struck, all owned by Gulf states. The US has not yet issued a formal response.
