Strait of Hormuz shipping nearly halted after four vessels targeted

Multiple maritime incidents involving attacks on at least four, and potentially up to six, tankers have severely disrupted shipping in the Strait of Hormuz since Thursday. While several attacks resulted in fires and minor damage, no casualties or significant environmental harm have been reported, and some vessels continued their voyages. The specific actors responsible for these attacks and their methods remain unconfirmed, leading to high uncertainty regarding attribution and intent.
