Projectiles strike crude and LNG tankers in the Strait of Hormuz
Three vessels, a crude oil tanker, an LNG tanker, and another ship, were struck by projectiles in the Strait of Hormuz, UKMTO reports. This is not a random escalation. It is a calibrated disruption to one of the world's most measured energy corridors. For those tracking ocean intelligence, the pattern is clear: these strikes test supply chains already under pressure.
