According to CoinMeta, an oil tanker near Oman was attacked, and Iran warned the United States that if the U.S. military continues to blockade the Strait of Hormuz, it will lead to the closure of key shipping routes. Meanwhile, Kuwait stated that its air defense system repelled an Iranian drone attack. The latest conflict occurred against the backdrop of U.S. media reports that Trump is preparing for a new round of strikes on Iran this weekend, and with hopes of negotiations ending diminishing, energy prices have risen. The UK Maritime Trade Operations Centre (UKMTO) reported that an oil tanker was hit by "unknown ammunition," causing damage to its engine room. The tanker is currently out of control, and the regional coast guard has been notified. Another oil tanker reported seeing large-scale splashes and explosions in the vicinity. The United States has carried out "heavy strikes" on Iran over the past week, attacking dozens of targets belonging to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard. In retaliation, Iran attacked U.S. military bases in Kuwait and Bahrain.
