Drone Strikes Panama-Flagged Tanker Inside Iraqi Territorial Waters
🚢 BASRA — A drone just struck inside Iraqi waters; no one's claimed it yet. 📌 LOOK CLOSER: The target is Panama-flagged carrying Iraqi fuel oil — attacker unattributed. Iraqi territorial waters aren't Hormuz; a strike here implicates IRGC proxies or spoofed attribution. Baghdad has been a careful neutral — a hit inside its waters forces a political response, eroding that posture. Two million barrels lost; the tanker war just moved upstream.
