An oil tanker is on fire near the Strait of Hormuz, prompting the United States to deploy a third aircraft carrier and 10,000 personnel to the Gulf. Donald Trump suggested Iran was behind the incident, but Israeli sources denied this, saying Tehran had not acted. Meanwhile, in Gaza, Israeli strikes killed nine people, including a journalist. Coverage by RaiNews is drawing attention to the escalation across the region.
Why now: Fears of a wider US-Iran confrontation after a tanker fire near the strategic Strait of Hormuz, alongside continued violence in Gaza.
