$VG BREAKING: The Qatari LNG tanker Al Rekayyat, attacked and severely damaged by Iran this morning, is at high risk of exploding due to a massive fire in its engine room, marking the first LNG ship struck in the war and would be the first laden explosion since the war began, per Reuters.
Iran also attacked a second vessel, now identified as the Saudi-flagged VLCC supertanker Wedyan.
The US is likely to launch retaliatory strikes on Iran within the next hours.
