Iran says struck oil tanker in Strait of Hormuz

Iran's Revolutionary Guards announced they struck an oil tanker in the Strait of Hormuz, according to state news agency IRNA. The Togo-flagged oil tanker 'Trend' was targeted and detained after a fire broke out on board. This attack comes as Iran maintains its grip on the strategic strait while the U.S. increases economic pressure against the country. The UKMTO also reported that a ship was hit by an 'unknown projectile', causing a fire that was extinguished.
