Iranian explosive-laden boats attacked two fuel tankers in Iraqi waters, resulting in one crew member’s death and prompting a search for missing seafarers. The incidents involved the Marshall Islands-flagged Safesea Vishnu and the Malta-flagged Zefyros, both carrying crude oil from Iraq’s Umm Qasr port. Additionally, a Thai vessel was struck by projectiles in the Strait of Hormuz, with three crew members reported missing. Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps has threatened to target any ships transiting the strait amid escalating tensions.
