Iranian tanker hit by U.S. attack near Iran’s Kharg Island: report
On September 5, U.S. missiles hit an Iranian tanker near Kharg Island, Iran’s key oil export hub. Tasnim reported four missiles struck; no casualties, and the crew was evacuated. Kharg handled 90% of Iran's crude before the war, but exports have faced disruption since a US blockade began in mid-April. For Indian businesses, this means possible oil price volatility, so watch fuel costs closely.
