Two Singapore-registered vessels have been struck while transiting the Strait of Hormuz, and one of them has sunk, according to a Reuters report being widely shared. The strait is a critical artery for global oil and gas shipments, and any attack on shipping there immediately raises concerns about maritime security, insurance costs and regional tensions. Details on who was behind the strikes and any casualties remain unclear.
Why now: An attack on commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz threatens a key global oil route and escalates regional tensions.
