What is new
A second vessel — a tanker struck by a projectile 68 nautical miles northeast of Jubail, Saudi Arabia — was reported by the UK Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO), with all crew safely evacuated. Maritime traffic in the strait remains 70% below pre-war levels. The UK agency has recorded 135 total maritime incidents since the war began. A ceasefire was signed in June 2026 but collapsed. Negotiations have stalled, with Iran's top security official calling U.S. conditions to reopen the strait 'insufficient.'
