Iran Escalates Strait of Hormuz Attacks, Sinks Two Ships, Disrupts Shipping

Iran has significantly escalated attacks in the Strait of Hormuz, sinking two vessels (Singaporean and Antiguan-flagged) and the container ship GFS Pride. UKMTO data confirms 12 attacks in the past week, a record high, leading to a 70% reduction in transits below pre-conflict levels. CENTCOM claims the GFS Pride was struck by an Iranian missile, marking a direct military action, though this remains independently unverified.
