Iranian Gunboats Fire on Indian Oil Tanker in Strait of Hormuz
Iranian gunboats fired on two Indian-flagged merchant ships in the Strait of Hormuz, escalating tensions with the United States. The incident occurred after Iran reversed its decision to reopen the strait, following a U.S. blockade of Iranian ports. The attack was captured in an audio recording, highlighting the dangerous situation in the region. The closure of the strait, a critical passage for global oil supplies, threatens to disrupt energy markets and exacerbate geopolitical tensions. India's Ministry of External Affairs has summoned Iran's ambassador to express concern over the incident.
