Original: Fire ignites on tanker in Hormuz after strike by unknown projectile
A tanker caught fire in the Strait of Hormuz after being struck by an unknown projectile. The identity of the vessel, the extent of the damage and any casualties are not yet confirmed, and no group or state has claimed responsibility. Shipping traffic through the strait, a critical route for global oil flows, will be closely watched for disruption.
Why now: Any attack on shipping in the Strait of Hormuz raises fears for global oil supplies and regional escalation.
