Tensions in the Middle East have intensified after the UAE accused Iran of attacking two ADNOC-linked vessels in the Strait of Hormuz. No injuries were reported, but the incident has added fresh concerns over the safety of commercial shipping through one of the world’s most important energy corridors.
The development comes as the US continues its pressure campaign against Tehran and the conflict keeps the Strait effectively disrupted. Any further attacks on vessels or energy infrastructure could increase shipping costs and put renewed upward pressure on crude prices, with consequences for global inflation and energy-importing economies such as India.
