GUNFIRE IN HORMUZ: IRGC Gunboats Fire on Global Oil Tankers, Iran Shuts Strait of Hormuz! | US-Iran

The Strait of Hormuz has descended into a maritime conflict zone following reports of multiple commercial vessels coming under direct fire from Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) gunboats. The United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) confirmed on Friday that a container ship was struck by an unknown projectile near the coast of Oman, while a merchant tanker reported being fired upon by armed fast-craft without prior warning. The escalation follows a radio broadcast from the Iranian Navy declaring the strategic waterway—responsible for nearly 20% of global oil consumption—officially closed to all traffic. As tensions between Tehran and the Trump administration reach a breaking point, several vessels, including Indian-linked tankers, have been forced to abandon their routes. Analysts warn that the effective sealing of the strait marks a dangerous new phase in the regional standoff, threatening immediate and severe shocks to the global energy supply chain.
