An oil tanker caught fire after being struck by an unidentified projectile while transiting the Strait of Hormuz near Oman, according to the UK Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO). No casualties or oil spill were reported, but the incident has renewed concerns over maritime security in one of the world's busiest energy corridors. U.S. officials, cited by Axios, accused Iran of firing missiles at two commercial vessels, though Tehran has not commented. The reported attack comes after a temporary shipping truce expired and stalled U.S.-Iran talks in Doha, raising fears of renewed confrontation and disruption to global oil supplies.
