🚨 BREAKING:
Iran's IRGC announces it struck the Malta-flagged oil/chemical tanker Prima with a suicide/kamikaze drone in the Gulf near the Strait of Hormuz early this morning (March 7, 2026).
The vessel reportedly ignored repeated warnings from IRGC naval forces to stop transiting amid Iran's declared closure of the strait to ships linked to "hostile" nations (following 8 days of escalated conflict after US-Israeli strikes).
IRGC statement: The strategic waterway remains under full Iranian control—no passage allowed for allied vessels of warring parties without authorization.
🌍 Why this matters:
• Strait of Hormuz = critical global chokepoint (~20% of world oil trade transits here daily).
• This is one of multiple tanker incidents since the strait was deemed unsafe/closed—shipping traffic has sharply declined amid drone and missile threats.
• Escalating hits risk major disruptions: higher oil prices, strained energy markets, and broader supply chain chaos worldwide.
Limited independent confirmation so far (e.g., from marine trackers or Western sources). No confirmed details yet on damage extent, fire onboard, crew injuries (some unverified reports mention possible minor casualties), or vessel status.
⚠️ Tensions at peak—monitor reactions from shipping companies, oil traders, US/Israel, and global markets closely.
