Hormuz Escalation Grows
The Strait of Hormuz has once again become a flashpoint in tensions between Iran and the United States after the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said fires had broken out aboard two oil tankers and a tugboat as they passed through, and that one of the tankers had struck a mine. In Washington, some officials are pushing to resume strikes on Iran, while others favor ending the operation. South Korea has also announced that it will expand the deployment of its naval unit near the strait to protect shipping in the open waters south of Oman. Traffic through the strait has remained largely disrupted since the war began on February 28, despite the passage carrying about one-fifth of the world’s oil supplies.
