Iran's Revolutionary Guards Strike LPG Tanker in Strait of Hormuz

Iran's Revolutionary Guards announced on Friday that they struck an LPG tanker named NV Sunshine for taking an illegal route through the Strait of Hormuz.

Maritime authorities reported a separate incident where the Panama-flagged crude tanker GEM NO.2 was hit by an unknown projectile off the UAE coast, causing a fire.

Iran has sought to blockade the vital strait since the Middle East war began in late February, while maritime attacks continue to disrupt regional shipping.
