🔶 Research institute: Increase in attacks on ships in the Strait of Hormuz reaches an unprecedented record

The Washington Institute for Near East Policy reported that the number of attacks on commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz and nearby waters in October reached 28 cases, which is considered an unprecedented record.

The institute’s report also said that since the start of the United States and Israel’s war against the Islamic Republic at the end of February to date, 113 incidents of this kind have occurred.

On the other hand, Reuters reported, based on data from the International Maritime Organization (IMO), that more than 30 giant oil tankers were damaged in these attacks. This number is equivalent to about 3.5% of the world’s total fleet of giant oil tankers.
