Escalating Attacks on Tankers in Strait of Hormuz Raise Alarm Over Energy Trade Stability

Recent weeks have seen a surge in attacks targeting oil tankers in the Strait of Hormuz, heightening fears over the security of energy trade routes. With reports indicating over a dozen vessels struck by projectiles, including incidents involving both Greek-owned and Kuwaiti-flagged ships, the situation has drawn international condemnation. Indian authorities have particularly expressed concern after 11 of its crew members were injured in these maritime assaults. The Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has been implicated in several incidents, leading to renewed calls for an end to violence against commercial shipping. As oil exports rebound through the crucial waterway, the mounting threat to tankers poses a significant risk to global oil flows.
