A security-focused channel reported Tuesday that another oil tanker was attacked in the Strait of Hormuz in the past hour, marking the second such incident within 12 hours. Earlier today, Iranian state media reported a gas tanker had been attacked in the same waterway after allegedly ignoring warnings. The Strait of Hormuz has been a flashpoint in recent weeks, with the US and Iran trading strikes and the IRGC asserting control over the strategic chokepoint, as The Zioneer has reported. No details on the attacker, method, or damage are yet available beyond the initial report.
