On Wednesday, Iran's Revolutionary Guard launched an attack on three ships in the strategic Strait of Hormuz. This incident underscores the ongoing threats to global energy supply lines as tensions between Iran and the US escalate.
The attacks come shortly after a US decision to indefinitely extend a ceasefire with Iran, although President Trump confirmed the continuation of blockades on Iranian ports.
The situation severely impacts global oil and natural gas supplies, with economic repercussions extending far beyond the immediate region as negotiations between the two nations remain stalled.
