Commercial Ships Hit in Hormuz Missile Attacks

Iran's Revolutionary Guards fired missiles at commercial ships transiting the Strait of Hormuz, causing significant damage to at least two vessels including an LNG tanker (Al Rekayyat), with a separate tanker also struck and catching fire east of Oman's Limah. These attacks represent a major escalation of risk to shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, a critical chokepoint handling approximately one-fifth of global oil consumption, likely causing widespread rerouting and slowdowns for commercial traffic in the region.
