Strait of Hormuz

The UAE said two Iranian drones targeted an ADNOC-affiliated tanker transiting the strait, with no injuries, and called it IRGC 'piracy'. The same day an explosion and fire hit the South Korean-operated bulk carrier HMM Namu with 24 crew aboard; Trump blamed Iran, Iran denied involvement, and Seoul later said two unidentified objects struck its stern.

Why it matters

The attacks tested whether ships would trust the US escort effort launched that day.
