Maritime attacks in the Strait of Hormuz have significantly escalated, with multiple vessels struck and at least two confirmed sunk by projectile and sea mine strikes. Iranian forces are assessed to be responsible for the increased tempo and severity of attacks, which have led to a sharp decline in maritime traffic and energy exports through the critical chokepoint.
