Tanker set ablaze after being struck by projectile in the Strait of Hormuz as Iran mourns Khamenei

A tanker was struck by a projectile and set ablaze near Limah, Oman, in the Strait of Hormuz, amid ongoing Iranian threats to restrict vessel routes through the strait. The incident highlights severe disruption risks to maritime traffic through the strait, through which approximately one-fifth of global oil and natural gas trade passes, as Iran enforces its own approved routes and tensions with the U.S. remain high.
