After the IRGC vowed not to let 'a single liter of oil' leave the Middle East, sea drones hit two tankers in Iraqi waters, killing one crew member; three cargo ships fired on near Strait of Hormuz, another attack reported near UAE port

Explosives-laden drone boats believed to be operated by Iran attacked two oil tankers in Iraqi territorial waters on Wednesday, setting them ablaze and killing one crew member, Iraqi officials said.
The attacks are part of a broader escalation in the Persian Gulf, where Iran has targeted six vessels in recent days. In addition to the tanker strikes, three cargo ships were hit by gunfire near the Strait of Hormuz, and another incident was reported Thursday morning near Jebel Ali, the United Arab Emirates’ largest port. According to reports, a container ship there was struck by an unidentified object, sparking a fire on board.
Since the start of the war, at least 16 ships have been damaged in the region. Shipping traffic in the Persian Gulf and the Strait of Hormuz—through which roughly one-fifth of the world’s oil supply passes—has nearly halted since the United States and Israel began strikes against Iran on February 28.
The disruption has pushed global oil prices sharply higher, reaching levels not seen since 2022. Prices briefly declined after U.S. President Donald Trump said the war was “pretty much completed,” but climbed again on Thursday, rising above $100 per barrel despite international efforts to stabilize markets.
