Original: More tankers struck in the Middle East as Iran reiterates conditions for reopening the Strait of Hormuz
More tankers have been struck in the Middle East, intensifying concerns over shipping security in the region. At the same time, Iran has reiterated the conditions it says must be met before the Strait of Hormuz can be reopened, keeping the focus on the vital waterway through which much of the world's oil passes.
