In October, there were the most attacks in the Strait of Hormuz since the beginning of the war, writes Reuters

In October, the Hormuz Strait experienced the highest number of attacks on commercial vessels since the conflict began, with 28 confirmed incidents. Since February 28, when the US and Israel initiated military actions against Tehran, there have been 113 attacks reported. The International Maritime Organization corroborates these figures, noting 120 incidents in the region, including over 30 supertankers affected. Recent attacks involved two oil tankers hitting naval mines while navigating a route deemed illegal by Tehran. In response to US-Israeli strikes, Iran has significantly restricted maritime traffic in the Strait, leading to increased global oil and LNG prices due to operational disruptions.
