Commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz came under fresh threat after suspected Iran-linked missile strikes damaged two vessels and set a tanker on fire off the coast of Oman. According to US officials, missiles hit commercial ships navigating the strategic waterway, while British maritime authorities reported a tanker ablaze after being struck by an unidentified projectile. No casualties were immediately reported, and all crew members were reported safe. The attacks have renewed concerns over the security of one of the world's busiest oil shipping routes, with tensions rising despite recent diplomatic efforts to reduce conflict between the United States and Iran.
