Summary
The threat level for ships crossing the Strait of Hormuz has been raised to 'severe' after Iranian attacks on tankers. The U.S.-led Joint Maritime Information Center warned that deliberate hostile action by Iran is likely. This follows an interim deal signed on June 17 where Iran agreed to safe passage, but Tehran has since warned it will target ships not using its approved northern route.
