Seven Tankers Attacked in Strait of Hormuz

Over the course of less than a week, the Strait of Hormuz witnessed attacks on seven oil tankers, including two Kuwaiti ships and three vessels linked to the United Arab Emirates, by the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Navy, according to Fars News Agency and Iranian press reports. The tankers, which had been attempting to pass through the strait after several previous attempts over the past two months, were targeted between September 28 and 29. One of these incidents involved a Kuwaiti-flagged tanker (Kadhmah 3), which was hit by a projectile during its transit, resulting in injuries to five Indian crew members. The deteriorating situation has led to a decline in maritime traffic through the strait, with no oil tankers recorded as having crossed since the incidents. Some ships have even stopped sending signals, reflecting an increase in security risks in the area. The records of the targeted tankers—such as "Al Roayis," "Sindabad," and "Mersin Prosperity"—show that all were either waiting or heading toward the UAE at the time. As tensions in the region escalate and threats against commercial ships grow, maritime activity in the Strait of Hormuz has significantly diminished.
