Three tankers owned by the United Arab Emirates were reportedly struck after breaching rules governing passage through the Strait of Hormuz, the strategic shipping chokepoint between the Persian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman. The incident adds to mounting tension around Gulf shipping lanes amid wider disputes involving Iran, the United States and regional powers.
Why now: Any attack on tankers near the Strait of Hormuz raises fears of escalation in an already volatile region and threats to global oil shipping.
