A massive fire broke out on an oil tanker following an attack conducted by Iran in the Strait of Hormuz. Following the incident, the crew evacuated the ship and safely moved away from the area using lifeboats. Occurring on the tenth day of the US air strikes against Iran, this incident raised the tension in the region to a dangerous level.
The US carried out another bombardment targeting Iran's military command centers in the regions of Sirik, Bandar Abbas, Qeshm Island, Chabahar, and Konarak. Following the attacks, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) officially announced that they carried out a harsh retaliatory attack against US bases in Bahrain and Kuwait. In addition, it was reported that two oil tankers in the Strait of Hormuz were engulfed in flames.
Along with the collapse of the temporary ceasefire agreement signed last month, security concerns and the risk of a global economic crisis in the Middle East have deepened further. While ship traffic in the Strait of Hormuz, through which one-fifth of the world's crude oil passes, has come to a complete standstill, the price of Brent crude oil per barrel exceeded 88 dollars in international markets. Upon the increasing possibility of war in the region, the Iranian Interior Minister departed for Pakistan as part of mediation efforts.
