Iran: two oil tankers 'disabled' in the Strait of Hormuz

Iran claims to have attacked two oil tankers in the Strait of Hormuz for not following designated routes. The ships reportedly carried around 4 million barrels of crude oil. The situation regarding the crew remains unclear, and the attacks have not been independently verified. Both the US and Iran have established their own navigation rules in the area amid ongoing tensions. The Strait of Hormuz is crucial for global trade, with significant oil and gas exports passing through it. The conflict has led to a rise in global energy prices.
