Attacks on Tankers Persist in Strait of Hormuz Amid Regional Tensions
Despite hopes for de-escalation, attacks on tankers in the Strait of Hormuz continue, with at least 10 ships hit in early November following 37 attacks in October, the highest monthly total since the conflict began. Videos and satellite images verified by Reuters show tankers on fire and oil spills reaching the shores of Oman and the UAE. Iran claimed responsibility for some attacks, while US forces maintain a naval blockade of Iranian ports. Regional energy infrastructure, including Saudi Aramco offices, has also been targeted.
