Iran Hits $200M Kuwait Oil Tanker Near Dubai as Trump's April 6 Deadline

Описание: Iran has struck a fully loaded Kuwaiti crude oil tanker anchored near Dubai in a drone attack, setting the vessel ablaze and damaging its hull. The Al Salmi tanker was carrying approximately two million barrels of oil worth over $200 million, destined for China. Maritime teams swiftly extinguished the fire and all 24 crew members were confirmed safe with no oil leak reported. The attack came hours after US President Donald Trump threatened to destroy Iran's energy infrastructure if Tehran refused to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. Global crude oil prices spiked sharply following the strike, with Brent crude heading for its largest monthly gain on record at 59%. As thousands of elite US 82nd Airborne soldiers pour into the Middle East and Trump's April 6 deadline fast approaches, fears of a broader regional confrontation continue to grow, rattling global energy markets and threatening economic stability worldwide.
