FT: Iranul atacă petroliere și dincolo de Strâmtoarea Ormuz, în încercarea de a limita exporturile de petrol din Golf

Iran has expanded its attacks beyond the Strait of Hormuz, targeting oil tankers in the Persian Gulf to maintain control over this strategic maritime route. Following assaults on two tankers near Qatar and the UAE, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps claimed control over the Strait and warned that actions against non-compliant vessels would extend throughout the region. The recent attacks mark a dangerous period for tanker operators, coinciding with rising oil exports from the region. The U.S. has stated it will not attack Iran before the midterm elections, while discussions between Washington and Tehran continue.
