Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) announced that it has attacked two tanker ships in the Strait of Hormuz, claiming to have successfully immobilized them. Reports indicate that one of the tankers is believed to be Greek. The IRGC stated the attack was a response to what they describe as non-compliance with conditions set by Tehran.

The developments come amid heightened tensions in the region, with the Houthi movement in Yemen also declaring a maritime blockade of Saudi Arabia's shipping routes in the Red Sea. These incidents appear against the backdrop of increased U.S. military actions targeting Iranian positions, as recent confrontations and skirmishes have resulted in injuries to nearly 100 U.S. troops in prior weeks.

The situation has further impacted the global oil market, leading to a slight decline in Brent crude prices, which remain close to $90 per barrel despite the ongoing instability in the region.
