TEHRAN, 7 July 2026 (TON): A liquefied natural gas tanker caught fire on Tuesday after being struck by a projectile in the Strait of Hormuz, according to the British military.
Iranian state media said the vessel had ignored navigation warnings but did not claim responsibility for the incident. The attack has renewed concerns over maritime security in the strategically important waterway, while diplomatic efforts between Iran and the United States remain at a standstill.
