Iran has increased its surveillance operations in the Strait of Hormuz, according to an Al Jazeera report. The development comes as attacks on shipping in the strategic waterway have surged and oil flows through it have dropped sharply again, compounding concerns about global energy supply. Ships transiting the strait are said to be facing the worst spate of incidents in recent memory, with observers warning of mounting risks to maritime traffic and international trade.
Why now: Fresh attacks on ships and a renewed collapse in oil flows through the world's most important oil chokepoint are alarming energy markets and governments.
