Tanker Hit Near Oman Coast as Iran Accuses US of Ceasefire Violation | Firstpost Live | N18G

Tensions between the United States and Iran are escalating once again after Tehran accused Washington of violating the ceasefire in southern Hormozgan province. The crisis deepened after Iran claimed it shot down a US drone near the Strait of Hormuz, while the US defended its strikes as 'self-defence' operations targeting missile positions and mine-laying boats. Amid the standoff, a tanker also reported an explosion off the coast of Oman near Muscat, raising fresh concerns over security in Gulf waters. Donald Trump, Marco Rubio, China and global oil markets have all reacted as fears grow over a wider regional conflict and disruption to global shipping routes.
