Attacks on commercial shipping in the Hormuz strait have reached a peak since the war with Iran began in February 2026. Iran targeted twenty-four tankers and other vessels over two weeks, including six on one Sunday. Additionally, a container ship and a tanker in the strait were reportedly hit by shelling.
