Six vessels attacked amid reports of Iranian drone boats, sea mines

Really concerning news: attacks on six ships in Gulf waters, including fuel tankers hit by explosive-laden boats in Iraq, causing fires and sadly one crew member died. Iraq has halted oil port operations. Iranian forces reportedly deployed mines and warned ships in the Strait of Hormuz. Several other vessels were hit by projectiles; crews mostly safe but some missing. The situation is escalating regional tensions. https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/3/12/five-vessels-attacked-amid-reports-of-iranian-drone-boats-sea-mines

So dangerous for shipping and the global economy. Hope this doesn't spiral.
