Iran's Revolutionary Guard warned that vessels “violating” its designated routes would be pursued and "punished" anywhere in the region, as maritime agencies reported two further strikes on commercial ships in the Persian Gulf. #Iran #StraitOfHormuz #MaritimeSecurity
Two commercial vessels were hit within 24 hours — one off Qatar, the first attack in that area in six months, and one off Fujairah in the Gulf of Oman — as IRGC-affiliated outlets suggested Tehran had extended operations beyond the crucial strait. #Iran #StraitOfHormuz #MaritimeSecurity
Casualties have been reported on the vessel, identified by a maritime intelligence firm as the oil and chemical tanker, Acers. #MaritimeSecurity #IranWar #StraitOfHormuz
They were the bully of the Middle East. They're not so much the bully anymore, but we have to finish up. And it's only a question of which way do we want to do it, the nice way or the not-so-nice way. And pretty soon you'll find out. They say he is giving approval, because that's the way it has been for a long, long time. #Iran #StraitOfHormuz #USIranRelations
Iran's army spokesman said Tehran's forces were prepared to strike first "should circumstances require it," while IRGC officials claimed tighter control of Hormuz, and Washington publicly pondered how much authority Pezeshkian and Araghchi actually wielded. #Iran #StraitOfHormuz #USIranRelations

Iran's military insisted it retained full control of Hormuz and the foreign minister said the strait could reopen within seven days if Tehran's conditions were met, after US Treasury Secretary Bessent said Iran had not loaded a single barrel of crude onto tankers in September. #Iran #StraitOfHormuz #OilExports
The author said Iran had struck a tanker at the SoH and announced that securing the Strait was now its top priority. They predicted crude prices would probably fall when trading opened. #Iran #StraitOfHormuz #CrudeOil #IR
The author said few people were asking why the IRGC was attacking ships, given claims that the number of vessels transiting the Strait was far lower than advertised. They described the counterargument as relying on blurry images comparable to Bigfoot sightings. #StraitOfHormuz #IRGC #MaritimeSecurity #IRGC #STRAIT
Iran clearly not satisfied with the Strait of Hormuz so it's coming for petrol on British soil too. Absolute disgrace. #Iran #StraitOfHormuz #BritishOil #IR #GB
The war has choked shipping through Hormuz and disrupted Gulf exports. Qatar said it has continued to mediate between Washington and Tehran, warning that the fallout has now affected multiple sectors and not just energy. #IranWar #GlobalEconomy #StraitOfHormuz
Months into the war with Iran, Gulf exporters are finding ways to keep oil and gas moving, but crossing Hormuz remains risky and some customers are still missing contracted cargoes. #OilExports #LNG #StraitOfHormuz
The foreign minister says Tehran is waiting for an official rejection of a deal, despite the US President's comments. #USIranRelations #StraitOfHormuz #DiplomaticNegotiation
