    Oil tanker hit by ‘unknown projectile’ in Strait of Hormuz region: Maritime agency

    The United States responded with its own naval blockade and later launched retaliatory strikes against Iran after accusing Tehran of targeting commercial shipping.

    Maritime traffic resumed after Washington and Tehran signed a memorandum of understanding last month aimed at ending the conflict and reopening the strategic route.

    However, Iran has insisted there will be no return to pre-war arrangements, under which vessels could pass freely through the strait.

    Tehran has warned ships against using routes outside a corridor it has authorised along its coastline.

    The Strait of Hormuz is the main maritime gateway for energy exports from the Gulf to international markets, particularly in Asia.

    Around 20 million barrels of crude oil passed through the waterway each day in 2024, accounting for roughly one-fifth of global crude, according to the US Energy Information Administration.
