Pakistan LNG Carrier Attacked Near Hormuz After Iran Safe-Passage Deal

The incident suggests either a breakdown in the safe-passage arrangement or an attack by a non-state actor not controlled by Tehran, raising questions about the reliability of such guarantees. This marks a direct threat to critical energy infrastructure in a chokepoint, with implications for regional escalation and LNG supply security.
