Tankers Attacked in Strait of Hormuz | Calgary News

Two Saudi oil tankers were struck by mysterious projectiles in the Strait of Hormuz, sparking global alarm as tensions between the U.S. and Iran reach a boiling point. With each vessel carrying two million barrels of crude, the attacks—minutes apart—threaten vital energy flows, prompting oil prices to spike. Though all crew members survived, the UK confirmed three projectiles hit one ship as it exited the strait. The U.S. claims recent strikes targeted Iranian preparations for sea mines, while Trump warns of more action without declaring full war. Iran vows retaliation if attacked again, but both sides remain cautious—yet the risk of escalation looms large over this critical chokepoint for global oil.
