Original: iran hormuz

A large crude oil supertanker reportedly struck a mine and caught fire while attempting to leave the Strait of Hormuz, the narrow waterway between Iran and Oman that carries a major share of the world's oil. The incident has raised fresh concerns about shipping safety and oil supply through the strategically vital passage.

Why now: Ongoing tensions around Iran and the Strait of Hormuz make any damage to shipping in the chokepoint a major global concern.
