STRAIT OF HORMUZ WAR: Iran’s IRGC Unleashes Shocking Drone Strike On Tanker, Oil Route ‘SHAKEN’
The world’s most critical oil chokepoint has lurched toward open war after Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps launched a shocking drone strike on a fully loaded crude tanker transiting the Strait of Hormuz, defence and shipping sources say.
Shortly before dawn, radar screens aboard nearby vessels picked up multiple low‑flying UAVs racing out of Iranian coastal waters. Seconds later, one slammed into the starboard side of a Marshall Islands–flagged supertanker, triggering a fireball that lit up the narrow waterway. Crew scrambled to contain flames on the deck as black smoke billowed over one of the globe’s busiest sea lanes.
