Iranian Revolutionary Guard says four oil-transfer vessels were attacked and three more struck naval mines near the Strait of Hormuz
Question
Iranian Revolutionary Guard says four oil-transfer vessels were attacked and three more struck naval mines near the Strait of Hormuz
Direct answer
The reported attacks raise the risk premium for Gulf crude exports and increase tanker, war-risk insurance and freight costs, while the lack of independent confirmation limits confidence in the immediate physical supply impact.
