Five tankers were attacked in the Strait of Hormuz in the past 24 hours, according to OSINT sources. Three have been identified: the Qatari gas tanker Al Rekayyat, the Saudi oil tanker Wedyan, and the Emirati gas tanker Al Maryah. One tanker from the last few hours remains unidentified, and another was hit but not reported. The United States has not yet responded.
The attack on five tankers in the Strait of Hormuz marks the largest single-day strike on commercial shipping in the strategic waterway in recent weeks. The three identified vessels — Qatari, Saudi, and Emirati — underscore the broad reach of the threat to Gulf state interests. The United States has refrained from official comment. As The Zioneer reported at 20:56, an earlier bulletin noted the same details from Abu Ali Express. The attacks come amid a pattern of Iranian threats against the Omani shipping route, with the US Navy continuing to escort vessels. The identity of the remaining two tankers remains unclear, and it is not yet known whether any casualties occurred or what method of attack was used.
