Tanker attacks escalate in Strait of Hormuz; UKMTO points to Iran's IRGC

Attacks on tankers in the Strait of Hormuz have increased, with the UKMTO attributing them to Iran's Revolutionary Guard, though Iran has not claimed responsibility. This marks a potential escalation in maritime tensions in a critical chokepoint for global oil transit. The lack of official attribution and the ongoing pattern of attacks raise uncertainty about the scope and intent, but the strategic location amplifies the risk to energy supply chains.
