Summary

Tehran warned that vessels violating its transit rules could be destroyed. British maritime officials reported separate incidents involving unidentified projectiles, but details remain unconfirmed. The reported attack occurred amid sharply reduced tanker traffic after months of conflict involving Iran, Israel, and the United States.
