آبنائے ہرمز میں آئل ٹینکر بارودی سرنگ سے ٹکرانے کے بعد آگ لگ گئی: ایران

Iran's Guards stated a supertanker, carrying over two million barrels of crude, struck a mine and caught fire while attempting to pass illegally through the Strait of Hormuz. Tehran, which seized control of the strait carrying one-fifth of global oil, accused the tanker of deactivating tracking systems with US support. This incident escalates tensions in the vital waterway, following Iran's demand for transit authorization and a US counter-blockade. Such a significant disruption could further drive up international crude oil prices, potentially increasing imported inflation in Pakistan and putting pressure on the PKR and local gold rates.
