A second oil tanker has reportedly been struck in the Strait of Hormuz, dealing a serious blow to already fragile ceasefire efforts between Iran and the United States. The incident comes just hours after U.S. and Iranian forces exchanged fire in what many saw as a key test of their ceasefire and ongoing peace talks. With a second tanker now attacked in Hormuz, questions are mounting over whether the truce is effectively collapsing and if the U.S.–Iran confrontation is sliding back toward open conflict at sea.
