Shipping Under Fresh Attack in Strait of Hormuz

Original: Hormuz Sitrep "Shipping in the Strait of Hormuz is under fresh attack, disrupting transit as Brent falls 4.4% in 24 hour

Shipping through the Strait of Hormuz is facing renewed attacks, disrupting one of the world's most important oil transit routes. Brent crude fell 4.4% in 24 hours, while PortWatch counted just one vessel in the strait on September 27, roughly 1% of typical traffic. Around 65 sanctioned vessels are broadcasting in the Gulf, and the overall crisis pressure is rated at 88.

Why now: Ongoing attacks and a near-total halt in Strait of Hormuz traffic are roiling oil markets and global energy supply concerns.
