The reporting
A tanker near Omani waters in the Strait of Hormuz caught fire early Tuesday after being hit by an unidentified projectile less than 10 miles east of Limah, maritime authorities said. U.S. officials said Iran fired at least two missiles at two commercial ships Monday night; two vessels were damaged and no casualties were reported. The attacks followed a June 17 U.S.-Iran ceasefire and came as talks continue on a permanent settlement. Brent crude rose after the reports, with the strait carrying about 20% of global oil traffic.
