Since September 28 after Trump rejected the cease fire, UKMTO has logged 16 attacks on merchant ships in the Gulf, counting strikes, attempted attacks, injuries, harassments, and unfortunate casualties. That’s more than 1 attack a day.
The pace hasn't slowed at all. On Oct 7, a tanker was hit by multiple projectiles about 51 nautical miles off Qatar. On Oct 8, another was struck and set on fire east of Fujairah, the FIRST HIT THERE in six months.
Latest: today, Oct 9, Iran's Revolutionary Guards said they struck an LPG carrier south of the Strait of Hormuz. They warned that ships using routes Tehran doesn't approve could be targeted across the wider region. That strike isn't in the 16 count yet (likely 17 official count soon)!
Note: attacks on shipping tankers, injures and casualties will drastically increase rates. Watch out for the below tickers.
