US Military Confirms It 'Disabled' Oil Tanker in Gulf of Oman

Tehran will cite this as a war act against neutral vessels, handing Iran legal cover at the UN and with trading partners. Gulf insurers will reprice all transiting hulls immediately. The dark-fleet workaround JPMorgan flagged just got more expensive.
