The recent tensions in the Strait of Hormuz have escalated following an attack by Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) on two oil tankers, one of which was reportedly owned by a Greek shipping company. The vessels were targeted as commercial traffic in the region has been significantly disrupted, with over 700 tankers in the vicinity.
According to Iranian state media, an operation was conducted on Monday, which involved the IRGC striking a Greek tanker in the waters south of Iran, marking a continuation of hostilities in the area. The incident has raised concerns about maritime security, particularly for Greek-owned vessels, amid the ongoing geopolitical strife. This attack is noted to be part of a broader trend of increasing Iran's military assertiveness in the vital shipping lanes of the Strait of Hormuz.
