A tanker is set ablaze after being struck by a projectile in the Strait of Hormuz, according to multiple reports. Iranian state television says the vessel came under attack after it allegedly ignored warnings, though it does not directly claim responsibility for the assault. A British military statement cited by The Globe and Mail also says the tanker is hit and catches fire. Neither report says who launched the projectile, and no immediate claim of responsibility is reported. Both outlets describe the incident as occurring in the strategically important waterway linking the Persian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman, where international shipping traffic is heavy. The Globe and Mail notes that Iran is suspected of similar attacks in recent incidents, reflecting broader international assessments, while Iranian officials frame the event as linked to warnings not being followed. Details about the extent of damage, casualties, and the nationality of the crew or the operator of the tanker are not specified in the available summaries. Authorities continue to investigate the cause and circumstances of the strike.
