Iran Attacks UAE's Giant Oil Ship After Bombing Tanker Off Qatar? Dramatic Claim Amid Hormuz Fire

Is Iran expanding its attacks on oil shipments beyond the Strait of Hormuz? Unverified reports suggest an Emirati very large crude carrier (VLCC) was allegedly attacked off Fujairah, with fire reportedly detected near the area. If confirmed, it would mark another major escalation involving commercial shipping outside the immediate Strait of Hormuz. The latest claims come as maritime security sources cited by Reuters reported at least 12 attacks on oil, LNG and LPG tankers around the strait between September 28 and October 5 — the highest weekly total since the U.S.-Iran war began on February 28. Meanwhile, an Iranian Revolutionary Guards adviser has warned that routes through the Strait of Hormuz deemed illegal by Iran could soon be closed, raising fresh fears for global oil supplies and maritime security.
